[Jessica Kostiw]

Wait a second... I read this book for work... and I am not a kid!  Lol!  The 
book I read was "How Full IS Your Bucket?"  It actually was really good!!  I 
recommend it to anyone in the working world!  I think it recently was on the 
best sellers list.

> The book is one of the highest-ranking (sales-wise) children's book on

> done unto you." It reminds kids that they have the ability to "fill

> opposite. Kids find it easy to understand and employ. Schools have
> embraced this idea to communicate respect and responsibility toward
> others. It's won 7 children's book awards.

> "I bought this book for my two grandsons, ages 5 and 3, when they

> thrilled to hear their mom and them constantly referring to "filling
> someone's bucket." Both children understand that when you are being
> nice, you are filling other's buckets, AS WELL as your own, and that
> when being unkind, everyone's bucket gets emptied. I highly recommend
