I've posted my thoughts about teaching empathy here and highlighted a few books that perfectly demonstrate empathetic behavior that kids can easily understand.

So yesterday, I wondered how I am only now discovering such a fabulous book that shows such an amazing empatheic and compassinate character, Marissa, in The Tooth by Avi Slodovnick.
Full disclosure: I've seen the cover on Storylineonline dozens of times but the cover never grabbed my attention and I always scrolled past it.
BIG MISTAKE.
HUGE.
The video is only 5 minutes long and it is PERFECT.
In.
Every.
Way.
(I noticed the video doesn't show up on mobile devices so here is the link: The Tooth,)
What did you think? Did you love it as much as I did?
Will you be using it in your classroom?
I'd love to hear your reaction. If you have any other book recommendations, please share.
Have a great day!
