Respect and Take Care of Things read aloud for children, written by Cheri J. Meiners and Illustrated by Meredith Johnson.

Everything has a place. Things last longer when we take care of them. Showing respect, responsibility, and stewardship are social skills that even young children can relate to—because they have things they value. This book encourages children to pick up after themselves, put things back where they belong, and ask permission to use things that don’t belong to them. It also teaches simple environmental awareness: respecting and taking care of the earth. Includes ideas for adultled activities and discussions.
