Every child is part of a community and has to learn to live alongside both the good and bad in their everyday life.

Good Neighbours provides a collection of witty, sharp stories that draw on both biblical and modern narratives. It is intended to help children to study the connections they have with other people, especially beyond their immediate family.

Issues explored include:

• Coping with rivalry
• Keeping to the rules
• Caring for others
• Leadership
• Challenging bad rules
• Self-sacrifice

Each unit includes:

• Photocopiable, illustrated stories
• Teachers notes packed with activities and ideas to prompt story telling
• Photocopiable worksheets
• Suggested activities for use with children with special needs.

Living Stories is an exciting series of books designed for Key Stage 2 classroom work. The book contains a series of units that are suitable for use in RE, PSE, History and the Literacy Hour.

'By using stories and poems as a way in, the approach to these ideas is non-threatening. Pupils are encouraged to look at the issues they face and how to handle them positively...Chris Hudson provides a wealth of support for the teacher.'
