Elem: HIT: books concerning moral issues

[Judy Seck <jseck@LSD.K12.MI.US>]

Thanks to all who took the time to reply.  Here is the Hit:

1)The Book of Virtues, compiled by William J. Bennett?  (Also The Children’s
Book of Virtues)

2)Joy Berry's Let's Talk About series?

Let's Talk about Stealing, Let's Talk about Lying?
These books are a hit with kids K-4 in our school.

3) Check out Bill Cosby's new series of, I think, four books. One title I
can
recall offhand (I'm at home) is The Meanest Thing to Say. In his wonderful
style he combines humor with reality and drives home the point in ways that
resonate with '90s second graders.

4) There are 2 new sets (of 6 books each) by Rosen/Power Kids Press about
teasing, stealing, bullying, etc. Each set costs about $60

5) I'm at home but the first title to come to mind is, Sam, Bangs and
Moonshine by Evaline Ness. I think the Human Race Club has a video series on
values.

6) There's always the Berenstain Bears!

7) Have you tried "Veggie Tales?" I cannot remember who the publisher is -
I believe they promote morals in fun ways for kids.

8) Values Matter series by Shelley Nielsen from Abdo Daughters Pub.
in Minnesota

9)  Learn the Value Of series by Elaine P. Goley from Rourke
Enterprises in Vero
Beach, FL
10) Values Library from Rosen Pub.

9) I just finished reading Chen Ping and His Magic Axe by Demi I read this
in conjunction with Chinese New Year, but it has a very good honesty theme
which I played out with the students

10) Aesop's Fables
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Dr. Seuss books: The Sneetches (prejudice) Horton Hatches the Egg (work
ethic) The Lorax (respect for the environment)

11)
