Picture Book Recommendations (Character Education)

This week, I am not late to Week #3 of this fabulous series of picture book linky parties. I enjoy learning about new picture books and refreshing my love for those well-loved classics.
Join Deanne, from First Grade and Fabulous, to share your picture book recommendations that teach character education. Just simply click on the image below:

I could have listed every book by Kevin Henkes, Howard Binkow and Julia Cook. They are awesome authors who write books that young children really connect with. I find myself quoting many of these books all year long. For example, from My Mouth Is a Volcano, I find myself saying, "Your mouth is erupting again.". It's awesome when a student will immediately be quiet because he/she remembers that particular book. 

Making friends, settling differences, showing kindness:

Awareness of bullying (what a bully is, what to do when someone bullies you or someone else, rules against bullying):

Listening Skills (what a good listener looks like, what a good listener does, importance of listening):

Accepting yourself, living your dream(s), breaking out of your shell:

Tattling/How to Be a Good Friend (what is tattling vs. telling, why friends don't like when others tattle):



I hope you learned about some new books. There are a ton of great picture book recommendations on this linky. Don't forget to click on the linky image above to check out all the book picks.
