You, Me and Empathy: Teaching children about empathy, feelings, kindness, compassion, tolerance and recognising bullying behaviours

Great for the children in class & at story time they loved it !

This is a nice book, it defines empathy well and is a good starting point for talking about it with children. Everything is age appropriate. There are two bits I had slight issues with - it's school orientated (lets have fun at school) - so if your child doesn't go to school it makes it less appropriate, but more importantly, the mean bully is bullied himself and then immediately learns the error of his ways. That isn't what happens eh? Usually kids who are mean are not doing it because they haven't learnt to be kind, but rather because they have experienced meanness themselves, or have some need which isn't met. And it's a lot harder to change ways than stated. So the book itself ends up, ironically, lacking empathy for the bully, and also giving the message that bullies need to be bullied to teach them the error of their ways. It spoilt what is otherwise a useful book for me.

Pitched just right for the age group.

Excellent quality would definitely recommend. Mrs D Lomas

My 6 year old daughter enjoys this book and has learnt a lot from reading it.

Lovely way to help children understand empathy.
