Summary: Be careful with this one
Comment: I got this to teach my son not to bite, and it works fine for him and that behavior. However, my daughter who is 3 1/2 and who has had no problems with biting or causing trouble read it to herself. The book covers biting, hitting, and pushing, which she has long heard were wrong because they can hurt people. The book also covers spitting. This is really weird. I don't think toddlers have problems with spitting unless someone teaches them to do it. They do a page on "Don't spit on your brother" -- I don't think my daughter would have ever thought about this on her own, but next thing I know that evening she spits on her brother. We had to have a discussion about even though spitting doesn't hurt people, it is still wrong.
I wouldn't recommend it, since it basically teaches children how to spit, and that they can spit at people -- even though they mention it is wrong, it puts the idea into the child's head. I think the author just needed one more page of bad behavior to finish the book and came up with spitting, which really doesn't fit as a bad toddler behavior.

Summary: My toddler loved it so much we had to buy a replacement book
Comment: My daughter is now a little over a year and a half and she's been so attached to this book for MONTHS. In fact, she loves this book so much that she's torn the lift up flap pages because she gets so eager to see what's next. There is so much scotch tape holding up her current book that my husband and I thought we should just get a replacement book as well as order other Karen Katz books. I hope your little one enjoys the book as much as my little one has.

Summary: Wonderful book for young toddlers
Comment: Most of the children's books that I've come across that address appropriate behavior are geared towards pre-schoolers or older toddlers. When looking for a book for my 16 month old, I was very excited to come across this one.
The book is a perfect introduction to what's acceptable behavior for children of his age range. Great things about this book include:
-It covers all the behaviors we needed to address and then some. It includes biting, hitting, pushing, kicking, and spitting.
-For each inappropriate behavior, there is an alternative appropriate behavior shown in a lift-the-flap format. For example, one page says, "No hitting Mommy. Then asks "What can you hit?", and under the flap reads "A drum!", with a girl enthusiasticly doing just that.
-It has simple colorful illustrations that capture my son's attention, and it does not include too much text to distract him.
-It ends with a little persuasion by asking, "Can you remember?", and under the flap showing a little girl with her hands in the air saying, "Yes I can!"
The first time I read this book to my son he was very interested, and I could see the gears turning in his little head. (It seems the content hit home with my little pusher/kicker/biter!) After reading it only a few times, his behavior seems to have improved.
I would highly recommend this book to all parents of young toddlers.
