My son asked me today; "Can we read "The Kindness Book?" That is what he calls "Let's Be Helpful."
This cute picture book teaches kindness and service to others. From helping others who fall, to get back up and carry their load-- to happily cleaning and tidying up rooms and sweeping the kitchen.

The sweet boy in this book makes soup for his sick sister and puts toys back where they go.
He learns responsibility by taking care of pets and taking out garbage.
This book teaches good manners and friendly service can be given with a happy heart, to benefit the giver and receiver.

A nice book about helping. My daughter really seemed to like that all the characters were nice to each other.
