Power Kids Press, a division of Rosen Publishing has a number of
titles which might work for you.


Pendleton Elementary School has a list of books that tie in with
their "Core Ethical Values".  Lisa Jessup, Library Clerk, will mail
you a copy  if you E-Mail her at pendleton@home.com


Consider "Honus and Me" by Gutman.  In it a young boy has to decide
whether or not to give a valuable baseball card back to the old
woman whose attic he found it in.


This site offers a character education reading list for grades K-5.

Our school runs a program called "Tools for Life's Challenges" and
we focus on a number of the same topics.  Even though they are
geared to younger readers our upper level teachers use the "Little
Bill" series by Bill Cosby just to get the students thinking and
talking about these subjects.


I just got some video tapes to look over from a company in Texas.
I think it's called Nest.  Each tape is a biography and each
biography emphasizes a particular character trait.

A good title for responsibility might be "On Your Honor" by Bauer;
one for healthful lifestyle might be "Mick Harte Was Here" by Park.
