Great little book for all ages! May 15, 2007

This book visually conveys a message that is often difficult to explain to children, about finding happiness through spreading happiness. Kids understand it and love it, and it helps parents explain at a kid's level why someone was mean to them. It is definitely one to read and re-read and I only wish it came in hardback to withstand the use!
A fun and engaging way for children (and adults) to learn how to treat others August 15, 2006

The concept of bucket filling is one that kids can really understand and relate to. I read it to my three-year old, and now he asks for it every night. He loves the pictures and has even begun talking about bucket filling when he says something nice to someone. This book is a wonderful tool for families and teachers to give kids a visual way to think about kindness toward others. And it's a good reminder for adults, too!
 Great Lessons To Be Learned August 1, 2006

Words hurt. That's the simple truth. And bullies abound no matter what the age. If we can teach young children the power of words and teach them to use those words carefully, we can change the future of America.
This is one book every elementary teacher should have. And one book each teacher should discuss with their children.
A Terrific Book for Every Family and Classroom July 19, 2006

This book talks about how we can each fill each others buckets (a very nice metaphor beautifully illustrated with words and drawings). How do we become "bucket fillers"? By simple things like saying something kind, smiling, showing love, and making others feel special. The book gives great examples of
bucket filling, such as inviting a new kid to play,
and much more. I love this book and I want to share it
with everyone I know, especially families with kids. Based on the reactions of friends I've shown it to so far, the book has enormous appeal.
The most powerful, fun, and timely learning experience for kids I've seen June 30, 2006

As parents, are well aware of the bullying problem in our schools, and we are additionally aware of the challenges we face as a society in dealing with this growing problem. This book provides the most powerful methodology I have seen, yet is stated in a way all kids can easily understand. Now my son is spreading this philosophy throughout his entire school! One more benefit that's quite rare for a children's book. As I read this to my son, I think I learned as much as he did!
