This book could be used to enforce rules. It can be read in the beginning of the year when rules are being told in order to show an example that every choice we make has consequences. There are also some new vocabulary books that can be useful. 

The illustrations in this book are very beautiful. They don't cover the entire page and are simple realistic watercolor paintings. The colors are not very bold but it is still a vibrant book.
