After reading the book Scribbleville with Caroline I knew it was one that we needed to review. It is a beautiful story that eloquently teaches children not to be afraid of people who are different.

This would be the ideal read for a children’s lesson on:

• tolerance
• kindness
• the acceptance of others
• being oneself
• opposites (scribbles vs. straight)
• families
• friends
• children’s influence (the hero is a child)
• the parts of a good story
• character development
• art theory (turning scribbles into pictures)
