This heartwarming book encourages positive behavior by using the concept of an invisible bucket to show children how easy and rewarding it is to express kindness, appreciation and love by "filling buckets."
Updated and revised, this 10th anniversary edition will help readers better understand that "bucket dipping" is a negative behavior, not a permanent label. It also explains that it's possible to fill or dip into our own buckets.

Kids process feelings on how they are treated and how they treat others. We love it and our daughter still talks about filling buckets.
Well worth the time and money to read.

We read it together as a family; the sentiment is that if you are kind to people throughout your day then you fill an imaginary jar and that the fuller it is the happier you are; kind things happen to kind people. It also introduces ‘bucket dippers’ who take from other peoples buckets and simply gets across the idea of how this would make someone sad. It is a really simple concept that seems to stick with children; ours now refer to anyone mean as being bucket dippers! We also introduced a real jar to work alongside the book so that when we are kind we can visibly see the jar being filled. We would definitely recommend as a positive way to reinforce the effects of unkind behaviour.
