Sippi is a fun-loving pup who learns about good character traits through a series of encounters with her friends. In the first story about kindness, Katie, a squirrel, teaches Sippi how to overcome her discomfort from being teased about her name. Five other stories also elaborate on the character traits of honesty, citizenship, courage, respect, and trustworthiness.

As children read or listen to the rhyming stories, they will learn about:

• Friendship
• Lying
• Tattling
• Bullying
• Cheating

Each story is a complete lesson with discussion questions and follow-up activities. Additional reproducible activities, including a 30-board bingo game, are found at the back of the book and can be used throughout the course of the lessons.
