Know-it-all kids who brag incessantly need help with self-confidence and friendship skills. Well, I Can Top That! shows how receiving attention for the right things and letting others have a chance in the limelight can improve social skills and promote better friendships. Brad has a lot of great things going on in his life – or at least that’s what he tells all of his classmates! When one student wins a contest, Brad brags about how he won an even bigger contest. When another student breaks his arm, Brad blabs about how he broke BOTH his arms AND legs. Children and adults will get a real kick out of Brad’s tall tales as he learns the difference between being a “pull-upper” and a “one-upper!”
Includes tips for parents and educators on preventing bragging behaviour.
""Well, I Can Top That!" is an outrageous story about Brad, a boy who liked to brag, telling outrageous exaggerated stories or tall tales to impress friends. Brad really wanted to just have friends, and he found that his behavior was not impressing friends or making new ones for him. One day his teacher helped him understand that he needed to change from being a ‘One-Upper’ to a ‘Pull-Upper,’ someone who lets a friend take spotlight time and attention and gives them support instead of always competing with them. “Well, I Can Top That!” is filled with humorous, colorful tall tale exaggerations and expressions and funny, zany, expressive illustrations. It will make some helpful points and suggestions about winning ways to become a “Pull-Upper’ instead of a ‘One-Upper.’ A helpful list of tips for parents and educators on bragging behavior is included."
