I chose this book because children love books that they can relate a movie to. You could use this book to teach children the importance of sharing and giving. You could tell them that when they get tired of a toy or grow out of it to donate it to someone less fortunate than them. You could also use this book to tell children that one day they are going to go off to college or into the workforce and they may not feel the need to keep their toys. You could tell them that when that day comes to not forget about the memories made with them, but to give them to a child younger who can play with them. I can remember the shift from elementary school to middle school and leaving my toys behind. You could explain that there are going to be many changes in their lives. I loved this book and the illustrations! ( )
