How Kind! by Mary Murphy

A simple, cheery tale of how kindness is contagious, using cute farm animals. In the story, a pig is kind to rabbit, who in turn is kind to a cow, and so forth. Even very young kids will 'get' the simple message that kindness begets kindness.

 In their review, School Library Journal said "boldly inked outlines filled with bright washes of color perfectly capture the friends' joyous expressions."

(The publisher recommends this book up to second grade, but we think it's probably pushing it for 1st grade so we've lowered the range a bit.)

Interest Level:   Preschool - 1st grade
