Character education seldom benefits from lectures — but it does benefit from Pandora Puppy's comical tale with its accompanying character education activities. Pandora easily teaches children caring and compassion.

Pandora Puppy, like many children, is very busy, but not at all concerned with others. As Pandora learns to be touched with the things that touch others, and to do something to help them feel better, she works out a definition of compassion — or caring — and shares it with the young listener or older reader.

You'll thank Pandora for her help when you see children:

• understanding the real meaning of caring.
• listening to others and taking an interest in their needs.
• singing the caring song Mother Dog helped write.
• setting caring goals at home and in school.
• begging to repeat caring character education classroom activities.

Preschool children listen intently, empathizing with Pandora and her friends, while elementary readers enjoy thinking of other ways in which the puppies (and children) might need caring.

If you read only a sample page to your children, they will beg to hear the rest. And you'll want them to hear this story!
