Enchanting! A WONDERFUL book for all ages.

This book is enchanting! Although intended for children aged 9-12, it is perfect for all ages, including adult.The book explains the concept of sharing and giving, and includes many folk tales, fables, and legends (from many countries) that stress the importance of charitable giving. If you like the Chicken Soup for the Soul types of books, you should greatly enjoy this. And you could use the folk tales as the basis for many crafts to make for yourself or for gifts (not to mention to teach children about charitable giving).It also stresses The Giving Box, used to keep handy to put spare change in at the end of the day, to share with those less fortunate when the box is full. That would be marvelous for chidren, but is also great for anyone at any age. The book explains the Jewish tradition of this type of box, which is still used in many Jewish homes -- and how to adapt it for other faiths, since charitable giving applies to all of us.HIGHLY recommended for people of all ages. If you've got a heart -- or need one -- this book is for you.

A lesson for all of us

Mr. Rogers, once again, offers beautiful lessons for children of all ages.

Mr. Rogers is Timeless

I grew up watching Mr. Rogers' neighborhood and now I am passing him on to my neice and nephew with The Giving Box. This adorable package comes with a little colorful tin bank and a book that talks about why we should help others. There are also cute little stories from different countries to teach kids about other cultures and traditions. A really good product to share with your kids, particularly at this time of year.
