PapaPiccolo_ Available at amazon.com or www.childrensebooksbyjoan.com 5.0 out of 5 stars Rich in learning possibilities, April 4, 2000 By A Customer The illustrations are very eye catching for young children. My 5 yo child enjoyed learning about Italy. She was interested to learn more about why a city would have streets of water. This book was a huge hit. We must have read this book at least six times the first week after getting it. This book is a great springboard to learning possibilities such as cats, adoption, fatherhood, gondolas (boats), and Italy. I'm glad to have this book as part of our home library. 5.0 out of 5 stars Cool subject matter! December 1, 2003 I bought this book for my daughter and she loved it! And I found an adult companion book on Amazon: "Chats de Venise" by Robert de Laroche, that I loved, but it turned out to be handy with her, because I could show her the pictures of the real cats in Venice, like Papa Piccolo and his "found" kittens!! 4.0 out of 5 stars The kids loved Venice after reading this book..., February 17, 2010 By A.

August 19, 2010 By lookin for a bargain "mom at home" (http://www.amazon.com/ Classic book for sure! Your kids will enjoy this over and over.. mine did. PAPA PICCOLO Double Tap to ZOOM to enlarge type Fully Illustrated Version Picture Book for reading with the younger child - ages 3-6 This version of PAPA PICCOLO includes all the luminous illustrations just waiting to enchant children of any age, and especially the read-to set. PAPA PICCOLO will promote a sense of responsibility for others and explore the many different kinds of families. CARING AND NURTURING The lion is the emblem of Venice, but the common cat rules its narrow streets and alleyways. A prince among these feline rulers is Piccolo, and what a fine life he leads! Especially after dark-when the streets are full of possibilities! Then one night, Piccolo makes a discovery that threatens his carefree life and his independence and starts him on a new and special kind of adventure. In these pages, you will also meet Caesar-Piccolo's older and somewhat cynical friend, and Sophia-the shoe shop cat, to whom Piccolo turns for advice when his life takes its unexpected turn. And you will meet two irresistible kittens-one spotted and one striped-who need a home and who help Piccolo discover his own tender heart. Author Carol Talley, who first visited Venice vicariously in 1977, returned to that city-which many call the most beautiful in the world-to capture its watery magic in breathtaking prose. Illustrator Itoko Maeno's enchanting renderings of the canals, markets, crooked byways, boats, and bridges of Venice and her wise and witty portraits of its two- and four-legged citizens will delight children and adults alike. At a time when we are recognizing the need for boys as well as girls to develop nurturing skills, Piccolo appears as a welcome model for all children. Piccolo leads a life full of adventure and possibilities. And then two homeless kittens decide to adopt the free-spirited Piccolo. "I'm not a Papa cat," objects Piccolo. "I'm a tomcat." Children will delight in seeing how the kittens help Piccolo discover his own tender heart and a new kind of adventure. A SURPRISE and added bonus is the "Enrichment Information" A second big plus is the "Letter to Parents and Educators" which includes many relevant questions and comments to facilitate conversation with young readers about the message of the story...that "Papas" as well as "Mamas," can be the most nurturing and caring parents! So even though on the surface, this is just an engaging story for children, it is also truly helpful in a real way. MAKING THE CASE FOR CHARACTER EDUCATION If you are tired of bullying, teasing, youth violence, gangs, vandalism, drug abuse, sexual misconduct… If you are tired of the crisis with our older youth… If you want to help make a difference one tiny step at a time… Then this is the eBook for your children ages 3-9. Read WITH your children, discuss the concept and message… and know that you are part of the movement sweeping America to bring back our important values by restoring character education in our homes and schools.
