Description

<p>What if you treated others the way you'd like to be treated? What if everyone did that? What kind of world could there be? Robert and Kait decide to look for the golden ruler that their Mom has told them about, only to find out that she meant RULE instead of ruler. What is this &quot;Golden Rule&quot; and what does it mean? Join in the children's quest to discover how to follow the Golden Rule and share it with others, as you meet many classroom friends from the author's previous books. This is the eighth rhyming children's book by award-winning author Sherrill S. Cannon, whose other bestselling books include Mice &amp; Spiders &amp; Webs...Oh My!, My Fingerpaint Masterpiece, Manner-Man, Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won thirty-six awards for her previous rhyming books and is also the author of seven published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called &quot;an absolute master of rhyming&quot; by Mother Daughter Book Reviews and &quot;a modern day Dr. Seuss&quot; by GMTA Review. She lives in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Now retired, she travels the country with her husband in an RV, going from coast to coast to visit their children and grandchildren, and sharing her books along the way.

Actually, I’m ashamed to admit it. Thanks Nick for a wonderful book – another compulsory reference book for managers who are honest enough to admit they have yet to grow up. As I read it I could not help thinking of Gandhi’s immortal words: ‘You must be the change you wish to see in the world.’”</span><span style="color:#000000;"></span></span></font></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"></p> <p><span style="color:#000080;"><font size="3"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">-- Trevor Gay, UK management and leadership trainer, speaker, and author </span></font></span></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:14.4pt;"><span style="color:#000080;"></span></p> <p><font size="3"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span style="color:#000000;">“Once again Nick has produced an engaging, concise, and actionable offering of essential workplace advice, and this time for all of us.
