Filled with delightful cartoons, thought provoking scenarios, and an entire chapter devoted to practice, this book is a must for children in grades K-5. "...this is a heroic book."--Roger Allen, Ph.D., Psychologist/Author

bookNicholas' Values: A Child's Guide to Building Character ($9.95 + s/h) is the newest addition to The Nicholas Collection! Children live in a fast-paced world, one that doesn't always encourage them to stop and think about the other people with whom they share this world. Using true stories of animals from around the country to illustrate important life values that will help teach children in grades 2-5 to be good and nice and kind, the authors have lovingly selected eight important character traits using the letters of Nicholas the Cocker Spaniel's name: Nice, Involved, Confident, Honest, Obedient, Loyal, Accountable, and Sharing. Reading specialist and former elementary teacher now college professor, Dr. Elizabeth Luse, says "Sharon Scott is the voice of clarity amidst the din of rock videos, negative media, and the 'affluenza' of today. Nicholas' Values is encouraging and practical. This is the book for building the character of our future... one child at a time."

bookLife's Not Always Fair: A Child's Guide to Managing Emotions ($11.95 + s/h) finds Nicholas the upbeat Cocker Spaniel helping kids learn what to do when they feel mad, sad, scared or confused as well has how to handle happy emotions without bragging. With the increase of violence in our society, disrespectful attitudes of people of all ages, and the inability of young and old alike to manage their emotions, it is imperative for us to teach young children how to deal with stressful situations. Nicholas and his animal buddies, Mandy, Cedric, Katy, and Alexander, use actual events in their lives to help children in grades 1-5 learn to cope in positive, life-affirming ways with their emotions. Complete with problem-solving exercises, charming illustrations and real photos of the animals, and easy-to-follow suggestions, this book helps children manage their emotional well being.

When children are very young, they will usually make friends with anyone and everyone without discriminating due to age, gender, race, intelligence, physical difference, or brand labels worn. Somewhere along the way, however, they learn that people are different. This can cause children to be unkind and tease unmercifully. Nicholas and his dog and cat friends once again use real events that happened to them to present a peaceful, non-violent message of acceptance. Family medicine physician, Dr. Peter Mendel says, "A wonderful book using simple language and animal characters that teaches children about prejudices of all kinds. This book should be read several times per year by young families!"

To capture the interest of children, the book is written through the eyes of Nicholas, a proud to be drug-free Cocker Spaniel, whose inquisitive childlike qualities make him the perfect guide through this most difficult and important subject. The authors strongly believe that drug education should begin early and must be more than the simplistic 'drugs are bad--just say no!' Each chapter equips children with the scientific reasons to not use drugs and the methods for doing so!
