Trouble at Wicker School, "Stealing is a Crime" and "Don't be a Bully" are stories using animals who take on human characteristics and traits. These stories are meant for children ages 5 through 8 years of age. Children should be taught at an early age to establish proper manners, values and behaviors. Hopefully this will prepare them for adulthood. After each story, the reader will find some suggestions on how to carry the stories further through role playing, puppetry, art, writing and other examples.
