 * //Enemy Pie,//
 * //Is There Really a Human RACE?,// Jamie Lee Curtis || K-2 || Information about this book from the inside front cover: "it is all about relishing the journey and making good choices along the way - because how we live and how we love is how we learn to make the world a better place, one small step at a time." My students really enjoyed this book when Sandy read it to my class when she visited us in late February. || Susan Hecht, Kindergarten, New Port Richey,
 * //Personal Space Camp,// Julia Cook || K-2 || This year I have had a difficult time teaching my students about respecting the personal space of the people around them. I found this book on amazon.com and read it with my students this week. It really helped to make them understand what a person's personal space is and how and why they should not invade somebody's space. Since reading them this book they will remind a student who gets too close about what we learned in this book. || Susan Hecht, Kindergarten, New Port Richey,
 * //A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue,// Julia Cook || K-2 || I am sure we all have kids who constantly tattle on everything everyone does wrong in school. This year this has been a continuing problem with most of my students. This book helps kids to learn the difference of when they should tattle and when they do not need to. The book ends with four tattle rules that are easy for children to understand. My students and I decided to write these rules on chart paper and post them in our reading center so that we can refer back to them when necessary. || Susan Hecht, Kindergarten, New Port Richey,
