The notion that charity begins at home has never been easier to teach children than with this enchanting gift set based on the Jewish tradition of tzadakah, in which children save coins in banks for the less fortunate. Added inspiration for contributing to worthy causes comes from Emmy Award-winning television personality Mister Rogers, whose peaceful "neighborhood" has been a comforting presence in millions of homes for more than 25 years.In the book that accompanies THE GIVING BOX, Mister Rogers teaches lessons of generosity and charity through heartwarming fictional stories set in countries around the world. For children, he describes how good it feels to give to those less fortunate, and reveals how even one child's contribution can make a difference. For parents, he offers wise suggestions and practical guidelines on teaching children the moral lesson of compassion for others and the value of charity.

I grew up watching Mr. Rogers' neighborhood and now I am passing him on to my neice and nephew with The Giving Box. This adorable package comes with a little colorful tin bank and a book that talks about why we should help others. There are also cute little stories from different countries to teach kids about other cultures and traditions. A really good product to share with your kids, particularly at this time of year.
This book is enchanting! Although intended for children aged 9-12, it is perfect for all ages, including adult.The book explains the concept of sharing and giving, and includes many folk tales, fables, and legends (from many countries) that stress the importance of charitable giving. If you like the Chicken Soup for the Soul types of books, you should greatly enjoy this. And you could use the folk tales as the basis for many crafts to make for yourself or for gifts (not to mention to teach children about charitable giving).It also stresses The Giving Box, used to keep handy to put spare change in at the end of the day, to share with those less fortunate when the box is full. That would be marvelous for chidren, but is also great for anyone at any age. The book explains the Jewish tradition of this type of box, which is still used in many Jewish homes -- and how to adapt it for other faiths, since charitable giving applies to all of us.HIGHLY recommended for people of all ages. If you've got a heart -- or need one -- this book is for you.
"... when I read the newspaper or magazines or see the news on television, I look for the people who are doing their best to help... not in sensational ways but in little genuine ways that nourish neighbors' lives."~ Fred Rogers
So thrilled to find this book available since it is out of print! Fred Rogers had such an amazing way of relating to children and this book is the perfect example of his ability to teach lessons of love and human kindness, both to the adult and to the youth. This book has some excellent ideas and teaching tools. I bought this book for my little grandchildren, but mainly to help their parents implement the concept Mr. Rogers has beautifully shared. LOVE IT!!!
