About this ebook
Miss Fox is tired of hearing her young students quarrel. So she announces Peace Week—no more squabbling for one whole week! The children chime in with their own rules: no fighting, don't say mean things, and help others. Throughout the week each of the little animals gets a chance to practice this new behavior. When Polecat teases Bunny for wearing a bright yellow sweater, instead of poking fun back at Polecat, Bunny admires his sweater. Soon, to their surprise, the animals are finding that it's easy to help others, take turns, and say nice things, even when someone is grumpy to them. Wouldn't it be nice, Squirrel says, if every week could be Peace Week?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Summary: Peace Week in Miss Fox's Class is a book about a classroom filled with students who are not being nice to each other. The teacher of the class, Miss. Fox, decides that the class should participate in a Peace Week. During peace week the children should not fight with each other or say mean things. Instead of misbehaving, the students should be nice and help others. The students are all presented with situations in which they would normally react with a mean comment or action, but instead they remind themselves that it is peace week and that they should chose a different solution. By the end of the week, the children are excited and proud of the nice actions and words they have done and said to others. Miss. Fox decides to have a peace week party for all her students and they chose as a class to make every week a peace week.Review:This book highlights the words and actions of the students in Miss Fox's classroom. Young readers and early school goers can relate themselves to a time where they might not have known how they should act both in and out of school with their friends and siblings. Through all of the situations that the students are presented with, the book shows both an example of a mean response and a peaceful response. In the example with the mouse, she decides to help the little mice learn how to work together rather than just running past them to play on her own as she had planned. This book could be used to help teach and remind children of probem solving skills and specific examples of what they could say or do to "keep the peace."
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This would be a good book to read the first day of school because it will show children how to solve conflict in many different situations. After trying it out for a week the students enjoyed it so much they decide to make it permanent. The children will enjoy the different personification of the animals and how that is shown in the pictures.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"Peace Week in Miss Fox's Class" is a powerful book that teaches K-2nd grade readers to set the example for peace and civility, even though others may not be displaying the same behavior to them. The story shows examples of this in action, such as when Polecat teases Bunny for wearing a yellow sweater, Bunny complements Polecat's sweater. Examples such as this can teach readers to "be the change that you wish to see in the world", which is the main idea of this story.
