The following titles speak to this necessity with contemporary, colorful, and exciting voices to deliver important messages. Geared for children ages 5 to 8, in these magical stories recount the misadventure of a smart, irrepressible and gusty boy who finds out exactly what can go wrong when he doesn t follow his parent rules or take their advice. He learns about the danger of swimming alone in The Swimming Lesson, the consequence of rudeness to your friends in The Boy from Nowhere, being patient and caring of the environment in The Egg Thief, the pitfalls of talking to strangers in The Biggest Halo or eating too much junk food in The Monster Christmas and carelessness in Dancing Blues. In these hip, zippy and brightly illustrated stories, Tom learns that rules not only have a purpose, but that they actually work.
