About This Book
Reach for this book when your preschooler is beginning to test boundaries or when you need a lighthearted way to discuss social etiquette without sounding like you are lecturing. It is the perfect tool for a child who is learning to navigate the 'big kid' world of hygiene and manners but still finds the word 'stinky' hilarious. Todd Parr uses his signature bold colors and whimsical illustrations to present a series of absurd 'do' and 'don't' scenarios. While the book touches on hygiene and manners, the core emotional theme is the joy of learning how to move through the world with kindness and a sense of humor. It is ideally suited for children aged 3 to 6 who are developing a sense of autonomy and social awareness. Parents will appreciate how it turns potentially tense 'don't do that' moments into shared laughs, making behavior modeling feel like a game rather than a chore.
