Description
When Felix wakes up on morning, he finds an invisible bucket floating overhead. A rotten morning threatens his mood--and his bucket--drop by drop. Can Felix discover how to refill his bucket before it's completely empty?
Description
An illustrated adaptation of the long-running bestseller How Full Is Your Bucket? (more than 400,000 copies sold) for kids — told through the story of a boy who learns a valuable “bucket filling” metaphor and watches it come to life as the day unfolds.
Every moment matters.
Each of us has an invisible bucket. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When it’s empty, we feel awful. Yet most children (and many adults) don’t realize the importance of having a full bucket throughout the day.
In How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids, Felix begins to see how every interaction in a day either fills or empties his bucket. Felix then realizes that everything he says or does to other people fills or empties their buckets as well.
Follow along with Felix as he learns how easy it can be to fill the buckets of his classmates, teachers and family members. Before the day is over, you’ll see how Felix learns to be a great bucket filler, and in the process, discovers that filling someone else’s bucket also fills his own.

This book explains the phrase “having a full bucket” to kids. The main character, Felix, learns about filling his bucket from his grandfather. The main idea is that if we are mean to others, we take water out of their bucket, and when others are mean to us, they are taking water out of our

bucket. When we are nice to others we are adding water to their bucket (filling their bucket), and when others are nice to us they are filling our bucket. The story helps explain what it means and feels like to have an empty or full bucket. The illustrations are also an appealing part of the story. Show Less

This book used a simple concept on relating how the little things we do or that others do, good or bad, could relate to our own or another person's well-being and happiness or unhappiness. After Felix's little sister destroy's his tower (over and over) he is less than nice to her. His grandfather

points out how each time that he is mean to her, her "bucket" is less full. Felix then moves on to other parts of his own life and realizes how little by little, through his own behaviors or through the behavior of others, his bucket gets emptied little by little. Then eureka! something nice happens and his bucket is a little more full! This inspirers him to help fill the bucket of others... even his little sister's :-) Show Less
