Peanut Butter and Jelly Fish is such a cute book! The art style is perfect for the ocean setting and the whole book has full paged illustrations. Even the inside cover in the front and the back are cute, showing the fishing boat going out to sea and then at the end showing the fisherman and his outcome. The colors are also very vibrant and hold your attention. Most importantly of all however, the story is great. This is a fable that has a very important message that though may at first glance seem like something every one should know, is honestly something people need to be constantly reminded of-- and that goes for all ages. Everyone comes across people who respond negatively to them and how we decide to respond in turn, and furthermore whether we stop to think on the other person's point of view, is something easily skewed by emotion and point of view. A lot of the time, it is the people that are so negative that are going through the hardest things in life and responding in positivity, if possible, or even just lending a little understanding or giving the benefit of a doubt could be a small change that effects the other person in a big way. Also how cute are the names Peanut Butter and Jelly Fish? ( )

My students really enjoyed this one. Interesting to hear their perspectives on the problem and solution. ( )

A gentle tale about bullying and teasing - I thought it was very well done. I especially liked that they refereed to apologizing as brave. ( )
