**E is for Ethics: How to Talk to Kids About Morals, Values, and What Matters Most** by Ian James Corlett

This is an interesting little book. It contains 26 very short (about one page long) stories for you to read aloud. The author has some thinking/discussion points as well as a few extension questions. I think it would be interesting to use with third grade and up and might inspire some thought-provoking discussions. Most of the themes from the Peaceful Classroom Climate are included (kindness, respect, responsibility, generosity, perseverance, courage, honesty, truthfulness) as well as many others that you might like to tackle with your students, such as understanding, tact, loyalty, sincerity, citizenship, and more.
