Each story in this collection begins with an undesirable or out-of-balance situation and, through the use of metaphor and an imaginative story, leads to a more desirable resolution. In this way, the stories also have the potential for nurturing positive values.
The stories cover many kinds of common behaviors. Following the alphabet from A to Z, the behavior is identified within the story titles--anxious, bossy, cranky, greedy, jealous, lazy, swearing, lack of cooperation, and more. These stories can be told as-is or adapted to the situation. They can also be made into homemade picture books or puppet shows or used as inspiration to create new tales for particular behavior challenges and situations.
