[...]Julia Dweck's books are an excellent examples of what writing for children should be.  They have a positive message that instills the important values in children that can barely be found in many other places in modern literature for children.Faux Paw is the story about a little boy who wants to be a bear.  His teacher, who is very practical explains that he is a boy and cannot grow up into a bear.  His mother however decides its important to teach her son to be whatever he wants to be and encourages his imaginative play pretending to be a bear.  After an incident in the school yard, everyone in the class is encouraged to be whatever they want to be and the classroom turns into a zoo.Adults who read this book to children should remember that the biggest Faux Paw you can make is to limit what a child believes they can do.  It's so important to believe in the message of this book and teach that you can grow up to be whatever you want to be, you simply need to believe in yourself.
