King Pig


By: Nick Bland

Need a new spin on the golden rule? Then, this is the perfect book to add to your library! King Pig feels sad because he doesn't have any friends. He thinks he treats all his servants (sheep) splendidly and he just can't understand why no one likes him. He decides something has got to change so he tries to win the sheep over using several different tactics. Alas, to no avail! Eventually, there is only one thing left for King Pig to do: ask the sheep why they dislike him so. The sheep are brave and give an honest answer only for King Pig to be astonished. After much reflection King Pig is able to admit to his wrongs and makes haste to correct his erroneous ways. 

This adorable book does a great job teaching a lesson of kindness in a way that young minds can understand. If you have an anti-bullying policy at your school (or in your home) this book would be a great ice breaker for talking about that.
