Fun Books that Teach Great Lessons

I just went overboard buying books on Amazon, but for buy 3 get 1 free how could I not!

I got a book called Personal Space Camp... we read it the other day.  The kids really loved it.  We are working hard on our personal space.  We actually just moved our carpet out of our circle area and started using carpet squares.  Same amount of room... tons more space!
I let them all sit/lay down one at a time on the rug.  Most laid down.  Then I started the story... 2 pages in "OUCH, he's in my space.... STOP!" we all got up and then discussed how it made us feel and why we were upset.  We still have a few culprits but we are working on it daily.

Then we read My Mouth is a Volcano - same author.  I have a few boys who can't help but TALK RIGHT THIS SECOND!  It seems to be working.  We are doing some exercises along with them and it's great!

I recommend them they are fun and silly but teach important concepts for this age!
