I have a wonderful idea for all the little ones on your Christmas list, it’s the Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story by Howard B. Binkow and Susan F. Cornelison. This book would actually be a perfect pre-Christmas gift too, as it contains many lessons centered around the power of giving.
The little ones will love snuggling up at bedtime to read this special book with mom and dad; the older kids will love that too, but will also be able to read this beautiful book on their own. I have always found there is something extra special and very cozy about cuddling up with the kids at bedtime to read a great book!
Like all the other books in the Wigglebottom series this is a wonderful book for children. The illustrations are vibrant and fun and this book introduces 4-8 year olds to concepts such as:
- THE HAPPINESS OF GETTING
- THE HAPPINESS OF GIVING
- LEARNING TO SHARE
- PAYING ATTENTION TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE
- HOMELESSNESS
- TALKING TO STRANGERS
- THE SPIRIT OF HOLIDAYS OR CHRISTMAS
At the back of the book, parents and teachers will find helpful tips and lesson plans to educate young readers.
The We Do Listen Foundation is a non-profit organization that creates entertaining, educational books and songs to help young children be better listeners, learn important life lessons and feel better about themselves. The website offers free animated versions of the books, plus colour & print pages, lessons/posters, and songs as well as many other teaching and parenting resources. To find out more, visit www.wedolisten.org.
