cute book with a lesson

I read this book to my second grade class. They loved it and it teaches some life lessons. On the same day I was already referring to it as a lesson in self-control. I'm sure it's title will be brought up many times this year.

Self-help in action

Wagmore is a friendly, happy dog with a tail that loves to wag. His tail wagging upsets his family however because it's always making noises or messes or breaking things. Threatened with having to stay home from a hike because of the damage his tail wagging has caused, Wagmore curls up with some self-help books to help him conquer his habit With hard work, he gets his tail under control, but finds there are times when tail wagging can be useful after all. The book is engaging and there is some tension, but all ends well. Boys, in particular, may like this story. The book has about 600 words.
