About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the transition from toddler demands to big kid manners, or when they are learning that being part of a social group means following certain rules. It is a perfect tool for children who have a big appetite for life but sometimes forget that 'please' and 'thank you' are the keys to getting what they want. In this humorous early reader, Steve the pig learns that wanting something badly is not enough. Through his interactions with the more patient Wessley, Steve discovers that impulse control and social etiquette are necessary skills. The story models how friends can help one another learn these social cues in a supportive, low-pressure way. It is ideal for ages 4 to 7 as they begin navigating independent social interactions and the basics of emotional regulation.
