Question 1.1: Identifying and Recommending Books
For each theme, here are appropriate books for children under the age of 11 years,
with reasons for their suitability:
a) Sibling Rivalry
Book: "The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Brothers" by Stan and Jan
Berenstain
Why It's Appropriate: This book explores the dynamics between siblings in a
light-hearted, relatable way. The Berenstain Bears series is popular with young
children, making it easier for them to engage with the story and understand the
consequences of sibling rivalry.
b) Being Disabled or Sick
Book: "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio (Abridged for younger readers)
Why It's Appropriate: Wonder is a powerful story about a boy with facial
differences who faces challenges in fitting in. Although originally intended for
older children, an abridged version or selective reading of chapters can make it
suitable for younger children. The book promotes empathy, acceptance, and
resilience.
c) Dealing with the Trauma of Divorce or a Family Break-up
