BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Rita and Ralph love meeting underneath the tree that’s in the middle of their two houses.  But one day Rita gets hurt and the friends have a hard time saying that they are sorry.

What a great way to show kids in a quiet way that there are good ways and bad ways to apologize – and that apologizing is important. Teachers of many grades will want to read and discuss this with their charges.
