Short but fascinating read. Uses the metaphor of filling or taking from others buckets, and the research of impact of negativity/study of what we do wrong and shifting to impact of positivity/study of what we do right. (

Very short and easy to read, but some excellent points using praise rather than criticism to energize people around you.

This book reminds us to do good things each day. This helps children learn their place in the community and how they need to do good to help out each day.

I would use this book to encourage good behavior. I would put a bucket at each table in the classroom and put an object in the bucket when they were behaving well or doing what they were supposed to be doing.
