This book explores the universal advice that is known as the "Golden Rule" do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
The Golden Rule includes different versions of this rule as expressed by different cultures and major religious and secular thinkers. The book also summarizes the different arguments and thoughts that surround this ubiquitous rule. This text needs no illustration - the words are powerful enough. Two inches tall and eight inches long, the book itself is shaped like a ruler and the text is printed in golden ink, making The Golden Rule an actual golden rule itself, vividly clear in all aspects.
The design and contents of this small book make it a perfectly unique gift and a beautiful, ready-made coffee table staple. The advice within is as pertinent and wise as ever, making this book a handy, tiny tool for measuring true greatness in life.
In this classic of children's literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day.
In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon."

How do you create an active reader? Why is reading good for creativity and vital for teaching the next generation resilience and positive mental health? In the digital age of never-ending screen time, you could argue that the power of books has diminished. But while screens have changed the act of reading, Alex Johnson believes reading is even more important, and that people value books more than ever. This is visible in the sales of printed special editions, the revival in reading aloud, the increased interest in poetry anthologies, and the rescuing of "lost words" from obscurity. But with so many competing distractions, which are the best books for children to read and how can we access them? How do we get children to start reading? How can we encourage them to be curious and maintain their interest? In this book of practical advice, Alex Johnson brings his tremendous enthusiasm and informed passion to answer these questions.
