Excellent Classroom Resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is an excellent classroom resource for discussing who you are and not trying to be anyone else. It's a great way to define "unique" and not "copycat".
Embodies several invaluable messages for young people
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Howard B. Wigglebottom Listens to His Heart is a children's picturebook that embodies several invaluable messages for young people. When young rabbit Howard B. Wigglebottom is mocked by his peers for dancing, he decides he will never dance again. But when he confides his sadness to his grandfather, his grandfather reminds him that he comes from a long line of Wigglebottoms who love to dance. Howard's grandfather teaches him that he should dance because it's fun and he loves it first and foremost! A list of suggestions for lessons or reflection and the end of the book go over the central themes of feeling something one's heart, the value of confiding in a trusted older person, issues that can affect self-esteem, the value of trying something different for the fun of it, and the benefit of connecting with one's roots and family legacy. Perhaps the most important message is to "Be proud of who you are!" Highly recommended for public library collections as well as for children's bookshelves.

Howard really loved to dance He'd shimmy and he'd jiggle Every time he got the chance He's do his little wiggle But one day the kids at school Made jokes as children will Ashamed of being made a fool He felt his ego chill He wanted to be debonair He wanted to belong Alas, alack, to his despair Things kept on going wrong This book shows that even though Things may not look too bright A friend can be the one to show You how to make things right Do your best, hold your head high Be proud, at least you've tried In time you'll find the reason why You feel so good inside This is a follow up to the book Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen, and deals with an issue that affects every child at one time or another. Told in simple language with beautiful illustrations, this is a must read for any child experiencing a period of self-doubt. Recommended for ages 7 and up. Amanda Richards, June 10, 2008

Shared this book with children at our local school and they fell in love with Howard B. Wigglebottom. They were quite taken with the message the book conveys. Lots of discussion followed. Thanks, Howard B.
