Reach for this book when your toddler is beginning to navigate social interactions and needs a gentle, repetitive framework for using polite language. It is a perfect tool for those moments when 'please' and 'thank you' feel like new and sometimes forgotten concepts during playdates or mealtime. The story follows Spot the dog as he models polite behavior in everyday scenarios, such as asking for a snack or playing with friends. At its heart, this book focuses on empathy and gratitude through simple social scripts. It is developmentally ideal for children aged 1 to 3, as the familiar characters and bright illustrations make the lessons feel like a natural part of a friendly conversation rather than a lecture. Parents will appreciate how it reinforces positive behavior in a joyful, low-pressure way, helping 'big kid' manners feel achievable and fun.
