He then buys the bear and names her Winnie. Winnie then finds a home at the London Zoo where she makes a friend, Christopher Robin, which influenced the story of Winnie The Pooh. This book teaches children that a little love and compassion can go a long way.

I think that Lindsay Mattick does a great job at expressing the importance of caring for others and how a small act of kindness can go a long way. I think that this story shows the importance of loving those who may be culturally different than you as well. ]]> 2021-12-02 16:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925603487 hancburke https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925614458 This book is about a zookeeper, Amos McGee who has the same routine everyday. He starts by waking up and heading to the zoo at 6:00 AM. One morning Amos did not show up and the animals began to worry about him. They then got on the bus and went to his house to check on him. All of the animals comforted Amos and then they all went to bed because they have an early morning bus to catch the next morning to go back to the zoo.

This book teaches children to love others and have compassion for others. I think that Philip C. Stead does an amazing job at showing how important friendships are. He shows how important it is to look out for others and to love them. I think that is important to teach children this from a young age so that they can begin genuine friendships and help others from a young age.]]> 2021-12-02 16:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925614458 hancburke https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925615134 This book is about a China rabbit doll named Edward. Edward belongs to a young girl named Abilene. Abilene loves Edward but Edward doesn’t feel the same towards her. Edward then gets lost and goes through some trouble and finally learns to love and care for others. 

This book teaches children to love everyone, even if you are not feeling loved back. I think that Kate DiCamillo does a great job at portraying the importance of loving others even if they do not seem to love you back. This is contrary to what today's society is telling us, however, I think that it is a very important lesson that should be taught to children from a young age.]]> 2021-12-02 16:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925615134 hancburke https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925652332 This movie is about a young Prince Adam who is cursed by a mysterious enchantress to having the appearance of a hideous beast. The only way he is able to turn back to a man  is to learn to love a young woman and earn her love. Many years later, a young maiden named Belle offers to take her ill father Maurice's place as his prisoner. With help from the castle's enchanted staff, Belle learns to appreciate the beast and falls in love with him.

This movie teaches children to love and show compassion to all, even if they may differ from you. Belle did not know that the beast needed her to love him in order for him to return to a man. However, she begins to love him for who he is and not how he looks. I think that this is an important lesson to teach children because many people in today's society focus on looks instead of the person's personality and who they truly are.]]> 2021-12-02 17:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925652332 hancburke https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925915214 This movie is about a man-cub named Mowgli. He lives amongst the animals but is eventually hunted by an evil tiger. He then tries to live a peaceful life with other humans but he is too wild for them but he is too human for the wolves. Eventually Mowgli finds a home in the jungle with a pack of his own. 

This movie teaches children acceptance and compassion for others. I think that this movie is very good at teaching children to be inclusive with their peers, not matter who they are or what they look like. ]]> 2021-12-02 19:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hancburke/oeqcrq3iwq23ubjx/wish/1925915214
