A classic tale, beautifully told and beautifully shared."--Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Readers' Favorite Book Reviews While using a simple metaphor of a bucket and a dipper, author Carol McCloud illustrates that when we choose to be kind, we not only fill the buckets of those around us, but also fill our OWN bucket! Conversely, when we choose to say or do mean things, we are dipping into buckets. All day long, we are either filling up or dipping into each other's buckets by what we say and what we do. When you're a bucket filler, you make the world a better place to be! This book is perfect for children, parents, grandparents, teachers and people that want to teach empathy, nurture, kindness and create a positive environment in their home, classroom, workplace and community. Review: Story time is the best time! - As a preschool teacher with more than two decades in the classroom, I’ve seen countless trends in early childhood education come and go — but high‑quality stickers, engaging books, and open‑ended art materials have never lost their magic. These simple tools continue to be some of the most powerful ways to support both fine and gross motor development, all while keeping learning joyful. Review: Wonderful explanation of kindness for young children. Gets them thinking. - Wonderful book, good for a wide range of ages. Kids, especially toddlers, have a tendency to be a bit self centered - me, me, me! I bought this book to read with my three year old and my husband, who is a third grade teacher, says he had planned to buy it for his students. Using the bucket analogy, this is a clever way to explain to children how important it is to be kind to others, giving simple examples along the way. My three year old can be not so kind to her little sister. Lately, she has been catching herself and saying things to the effect of "Oh I don't want to dip into her bucket, I want to fill her bucket" and then will give her a toy or something. Or at least will stop pushing her around! The book is definitely repetitive which is slightly annoying but very typical for kids books. This isn't a typical read and put aside type of book. It really is a spring board for conversation, as I think another review described it as. It's also a book that my three year old WANTS to read and often. As to the criticism that it does not discuss filling our own buckets... well, I think MOST kids already do that. Certainly toddlers do that all day long. So I think perhaps its not good for the overly people pleasing 8 year olds of the world but for any child who needs some gentle encouragement to think of others, this works! One last note - my grandmother used to always compliment / talk to strangers, especially if they were alone. Just something simple and sincere. And she would say "you never know if perhaps no one else talked to them all day" And she's right! Our world could use a lot more kindness and I think this is a good start. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,994 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Children's Values Books #13 in Children's Self-Esteem Books #91 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 9,076 Reviews | ## Images ![- Have You Filled a Bucket Today?
