"Kid
Ethics"
by James "Bud" Bottoms. Much like learning the alphabet,
children should be exposed to the formal education of ethics at a
very early age to help them socialize in appropriate and respectful
ways. Childhood is a time when these future citizens should acquire
the skills and attitudes that result in respect and proper decorum.
This is also a workbook designed to incorporate basic skills such
as reading, writing, and spelling into the child’s development
of ethical principles. The whimsical cartoons and rhymes not only
define the word but encourage the reader to think about that word.
This is followed with a question which asks the student to think and
to express the meaning and application of each word. The cartoons
may be colored and enhanced by the child, serving as a reinforcing
reminder of the ethics being described.
“Kid Ethics” will help develop thoughtful, respectful,
and caring citizens. We use ethics every day, all of our lives. That's
why one of the best features of this book is that it encourages the
whole family to participate in these essential values.
Endorsements:
At a time when all of us may doubt the value and ethics of our society,
this book offers hope that a new generation of children will learn
to live their lives by the rules of decency and civility. “Kid
Ethics” is aimed at helping children develop character; but in
a real way, it can help all of us be better human beings.
- Leon E. Panetta, Former Presidential Chief of State
I really like the unconventional, entertaining, educational approach
taken. If all parents gave these books to their children, we would
have a much more civilized society. Thank you for doing this for
our species.
- Jean-Michel Cousteau, Ocean Futures Society
"Kid Ethics" brings together inspiring stories, great
illustrations and thoughtful questions. The lessons in this book
will help parents and educators integrate ethics education into
daily activities. It's a workbook designed to assist children in
decision-making skills and in taking steps toward becoming successful
citizens in today's world.

"How
the Caterpillar Got Its Wings", by Jana Garnett is a
story that has a literal and figurative message. The literal story
of how caterpillars become butterflies serves as a tool to facilitate
dialogue about feelings between parent/teacher and child/student.
The figurative message is open to interpretation and may apply to
many important life transitions or just change in general. The objectives
encourage us to acknowledge the function and potency of our feelings.
In acknowledging, naming, and expressing our feelings, we release
them and maintain both intrapersonal and interpersonal health. In
fact, we are transformed by these behaviors!
Jana Garnett is a special education teacher in Santa Barbara, CA,
where she works with children with developmental disabilities. Jana's
area of emphasis has always been interpersonal skills.
Also includes Audio CD of Story and Fun Activities! Great to read
along, and then participate in butterfly-related fun things to do!

"Grandpa
and the Pirate" by Rick Farren
is a story of a ten year old boy, Dickey Denton, and his grandfather,
who embark on a fishing trip. During a storm, they are forced to beach
their boat on a deserted island, where Dickey learns a number of valuable
lessons about life and survival.
Grandpa teaches Dickey how to build a shelter and make a fire to keep
warm. To calm Dickey's fears, he tells a story of how the island got
its name. The exciting tale is about an English pirate and his ship,
"The Lucky Lady," that was lost at sea.
Dickey listens to how the pirate still walks the island at night searching
for his lost crew, while helping others who may be lost or in need.
His own fear mixed with his vivid imagination serve as an embellishment
to the real adventure he and his Grandpa are experiencing during the
dangerous storm.
As he falls into a fitful sleep, Dickey weaves a wondrous dream with
images from his Grandpa's storytelling. Miraculously, the next morming
they are rescued. But only Dickey knows the truth of how it came to
be.
