MD1985 said Perfect book for my 6 year old in first grade. Perfect book for my 6 year old in first grade. He has had trouble making friends at school. This book goes over how to be a good friend and what makes each crayon in the pencil box unique. Brown learns what is unique about him and what he can do to help the other crayons. Brown use to complain and carry around a lot of negative energy that the other crayons didn't like. This book is perfect for our situation!!Some of the reviews said this book is racist. ABDOLUTELY NOT!!! I would honestly ignore the one racist comments when choosing this book. All of the colors in the are talked about. Brown is the main character.The book goes over negative . Great for friendship and self-esteem discussions I usually don't purchase new books without seeing reviews but I immediately bought this one and I wasn't disappointed. Julia Cook's books have been useful. As an elementary school counselor I'm always searching for books on friendship. There don't seem to be many out there on how to make friends and what to do if you have friendship problems. Although I also recommend "How to be a friend" by Marc Brown and "My friends and me" by Pat Thomas. I look for books that will appeal to 6-8 year olds. I've already used this book with groups and it's worked out well.So for the plot: The Brown colored pencil feels alone and left out. A few of the other . More of a self esteem book than a making friends book bayliss I bought this for my 5 year old. He has some issues with empathy and thinking about other people, so I'm concerned that he is going to have trouble making real friends in school. He does NOT have any issues with self esteem, if anything he has the opposite problem.I thought this was a book about how to make friends. But really, it's a book on why friends are important and that you are special and deserve to have friends. The book is very very wordy. There are a couple of entire pages that could easily be removed from the book without affecting the storyline. It's just too long for young children.Also, there's no real practical information. T
--Kristine J. Melloy, Ph.D., President Elect of the Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders . Her book is picture perfect in showing all of us what it takes to build relationships and make friends. Every Child or adult will be able to relate to at least one of the colored pencils in this story so artfully created by Julia Cook
Meet Brown the least used pencil in the box. This title is the first in a Building Relationships series of books focusing on relationship-building skills for children. He s tall, geeky and lonely. Dark Green is trustworthy, Pink listens well, Orange has fun, and everybody likes Red! Brown doesn t smile very often because he doesn t get used much and hardly ever needs sharpening. Included in the book are tips for parents and teachers on how to help children who feel left out and have trouble making friends.. When Brown asks the other pencils why no one likes him, he discovers that to have friends, he needs to be a good friend. Brown envies Red, Purple, Blue and all the other pencils who have fun coloring and playing together. If Brown learns to use all of the friendship skills the other pencils have, he can make friends and have fun too! In her trademark humorous fashion, author Julia Cook teaches kids of al
