    Special!
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2021*

Every book by this author is wonderful.  Superheroes in the Doll Corner was my favorite up until now.  This book is so touching and affirming of goodness that it made me a nicer person for weeks after reading it! I bought more copies and gave them for Christmas presents; it makes a great present for teachers especially.  Vivian Paley teaches more than children. She teaches her readers to really listen to others, especially children, and to harmonize feelings, good ones and unhappy ones, into a loving acceptance of all experience.

    Sweet book, poignant stories about children...
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2001*

I don't know what I expected from this book. I thought it would be a series of stories about children being kind. It actually ended up as a free-flowing continuous stream-of-consciousness tale on the part of the author. It was partly on the children, and partly on the reaction of the author and other teachers towards the small kindnesses that children give to one another in diverse situations. Even though Paley tells us about the interesting story-telling learning which she instigates, the story-telling is less important to the book then the kindnesses of the children. The story-telling is the means by which the kindnesses continue, a means to acknowledge that kindness has occurred, and that children are responsible for solitary  acts that can have  ripple-like effects.What I find incredibly interesting and wish that Paley had dealt with is that this behavior of small children  prior to the fourth grade seems to be 'taught' out of children, by the adults in their lives. I may be wrong about this, but the national problems with bullying seem to occur right after third grade (which most educators and parents know is a major transitional point). Where is it that we are teaching our children not to be kind to others?This book is sweet and extremely interesting. Paley brings up the possibility of an intelligence based not on intellect, but on an inner sense of being able to 'see' when another person is hurting. I would have liked more information...this book raises more questions then it provides the solutions for....
