About This Book
A parent or caregiver would reach for this book when their toddler has begun using their teeth to express frustration, excitement, or a desire for personal space. While biting is a common developmental phase, it can be a distressing and socially isolating behavior for families. This book provides a gentle yet firm redirection by making the distinction between things that are okay to bite (food) and things that are not (people). Through bouncy rhyme and humorous illustrations, the story validates the impulse to bite while reinforcing that humans have evolved beyond that behavior. It uses a lighthearted, non-shaming approach to teach body autonomy and self-regulation. Perfect for children aged 2 to 5, it offers a common language for families to use when an 'oops' moment occurs, turning a stressful behavioral correction into a catchy, memorable lesson about kindness and big-kid choices.
