In today's society, many factors exist that tend to influence children in a negative way. Instead of focusing on the negative, one author has chosen to highlight a positive quality to help teach children - tolerance.

In the book, "There's a Skunk in My Bunk: Helping Children Learn Tolerance," by Joseph T. McCann, Psy.D., a boy meets a skunk in his bedroom. The boy, who has heard all sorts of bad things about skunks, is not too pleased to have this visitor in his home. The skunk defends himself and introduces him to some of his friends whom the boy also has a negative opinion of. In the end, the boy learns not to judge a book by it's cover.

MyParenTime recommends this book -- the lesson that is taught is a very important part of a child's life.<
