The Giving Book: Open the Door to a Lifetime of Giving

Bough this to potentially give to my 8 y/o niece but thankfully read it first. It has some good ideas but stops short of saying WHY we should give. So it's basically a secular humanist treatise on giving, if that is what one is looking for.

Love the book!

I love this book. I bought this book for my 5 year old niece to get her thinking about how to make valuable contributions to her community.

Every kid should have a Giving Book! Such a great way to start children and students on practicing Service-Learning! Awesome!

This book was awarded the top recognition for 2005 by the Metro Atlanta Corporate Volunteer Council. This award honors children's books that inspire community service and volunteerism in children.

What a wonderful book to share with your children. I am planning on getting one for my girlscout troop as well.

The Giving Book truly has the potential of opening up your or any other child's door to a lifetime of joyous, selfless giving. The book can be used as a fun, interactive workbook to help gently teach your child the most valuable lessons in life - those of Caring, Compassion and Giving to one another and to the earth. If there is to be a "New Age" on earth it will only happen if people start caring for and helping each other. This book is an excellent start for your child!For the Mom and Dad, I highly recommend  The Golden Rule Workbook: A Manual for the New Millennium  (available in eBook also) which is far more comprehensive in it's teachings and self-help techniques to really help you tackle the hard stuff, thus becoming a more loving, selfless parent who can teach their children and all others, by example, the great importance of caring, kindness and compassion.
