Abstract	Students in grades three and four are introduced to the concepts of abstract reasoning, ambiguity, and interpersonal relationships in this philosophic reader. The story involves mystery and myth and works with literary techniques of similie and metaphor. Pixie is introduced as a precocious character who is impatient with other people, a tease, and a mimic. While she lectures to other people she unknowingly makes blunders, yet she possesses a certain degree of self-knowledge and insight. Incidents in the story such as a breakfast-time quarrel focus on family relationships and the difference between right and wrong. The "Pixie" course deals with strengthening the awareness of relationships (logical, social, familial, aesthetic, causal, part-whole, mathematical, etc.) as well as the competence in dealing with such relationships. An attempt to dress in the dark illustrates how perplexing a person's experience can be and how distorted perceptions can become. In the final chapters, four people retell the story that Pixie has told them, introducing students to the difference between individuals who create stories and those who are story tellers. (KC)
