Abstract	The authors describe a five-day, literature-based thematic unit for second-graders on positive character traits, such as friendship, respect, perseverance, honesty, and cooperation, and how four books by Janell Cannon are integral to children's learning. (The authors offer suggestions throughout for adapting the unit for younger children.) They address Connecticut's standards for math, science, social-emotional, and cognitive development and NAEYC and IRA (International Reading Association) standards for language arts. The unit included a variety of activities so each child would benefit. (As Provided).
