Target: Character Ed. Book

[Dale Ledgerwood <ledger@CAPITAL.NET>]

I am the librarian at an elementary school - grades 3-5.  The primary
school is grades K-2.   We are looking for a book on using appropriate
language (choice of words kids use--eg. no swearing) or about good
manners.  Each homeroom would receive a copy of the title.  The teacher
would read it to the class, then each child would take it home for one
night to read and share with the family.  Also a list of questions would
be sent home with the book for the family to discuss.  So the book needs
to be short enough to be read in one night (probably a picture book
format).  We would like the interest level to be K-5.  If this is not
possible we may need to choose two different books; one for 3-5, and one
for K-2.  Some titles suggested so far are:   Madeline Says Merci by
John Bemelmans Marciano, Perfect Pigs by Marc Brown, Elbert's  Bad Word
by Audrey Wood and The Grumpling by Stephen Cosgrove.  We would
appreciate any suggestions you may have.  Please let me know if the
title would be good for K-5, 3-5 or K-2.

Thank you for your help.
