Stories are a powerful means to explore dilemmas and issues that children encounter every day.

In this insightful book; the authors take 21 of our most-loved and best-known picture books and look at how to share them effectively with children. Each picture book covered has two sections of guidance: one to be used at school and a second to be photocopied and used in a home environment. Both sections contain a story outline; talking points and ideas for activities.

In addition; the classroom sections include circle time ideas; motions for class debates and assembly suggestions. These sections can be used for small group work and one-to-one activities.

This innovative book explores such themes as self-awareness; managing feelings; motivation; empathy and social skills; and will in turn address issues such as bullying; loss; inclusion; missing mum and general behaviour.
