ELEM: need story about fairness

[Johanna Halbeisen <johanna@MASSED.NET>]

One of the counselors in my school is looking for a story for first and
second graders about fairness, and doing things that hurt others
accidentally and on purpose.  I guess you might get two stories.  I tried A
to Zoo, it didn't have anything helpful.

BTW, I came to LM_NETters when the counselors told me that they, the
counselors, should be able to keep the books about personal and family
problems (divorce, death, alcoholic parents, etc) because these issues
should have an adult presenting them and helping the child with any
feelings.  I asked you if you had kids who took those books out on their
own. I had a second grader today ask me for those books on divorce, because
her parents were.  I showed her and she took one out.  I stand with my
decision, that kids should have access to books about these subjects.  I'm
glad the counselors are coming to me for relevant books even though I went
against their advice on the books in the library.

Thanks!
