E Is for Ethics: How to Talk to Kids About Morals, Values, and What Matters Most by Corlett, Ian James. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781416596547.

Teaching children ethics, values, and morals has become a real challenge for parents today. These topics arent usually covered in school curriculums, and many families no longer attend religious services, so most modern moms and dads are clamoring for a helping hand. Ian James Corlett, an award-winning childrens TV writer, was inspired to write this book as his own family grappled with this issue. When Ians two kids were very young, he and his wife started a weekly discussion period he dubbed "Family Fun Time." Every Monday after dinner, they all sat down and Ian would tell his two kids tales about two young children, Elliott and Lucy, who were much like them. - They hated going to the dentist. - They were disappointed when a favorite aunt couldnt visit. - They dreaded raking the leaves in their backyard. Ians kids really looked forward to these talks and they hardly even realized that the stories were serving a deeper purpose -- to teach tact, understanding, and responsibility. So he decided to write these stories down to help other parents -- like you. The result is in your hands: twenty-six simple, clear, original, and entertaining stories for you to read aloud with your child. Teaching your children values, life skills, and ethics has never been so much fun!
