Try a Little Kindness: A Guide to Being Better
Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Bestselling illustrator Henry Cole puts animals in sweet and humorous situations to demonstrate the importance of being kind!

In this funny picture book, bestselling illustrator Henry Cole shows kids different ways to be kind with his hysterical cartoon animal characters.

Each page features a different way to be a good person, like using proper manners, telling someone they are special, or sharing a treat! The text is accompanied by two or three related vignettes of different animals giving examples of ways to be good. And in one illustration out of each set, one animal (like a cat peering into a fishbowl!) may not be doing the best job of being kind!

The animal characters and simple text will help readers learn the importance of kindness in a fun way with lots of kid appeal. Our animal friends will show you

Exactly how it is done

Make sure to look closely

Kindness can be very FUN!
