Each of the short stories in this paperback book use animal characters in a sketch that demonstrates how we get treated best when we say 'please' and 'thank you' and consider others' needs, too.
And that kindness gives us the soft heart we need to feel empathy for others - how they are feeling.
This little book teaches kids that when they are polite they'll bring a smile to someone's face and feel good themselves.
Another aspect of this book I like is it lets pre-readers or those having trouble reading words absorb the story by looking at the pictures, page by page, because the illustrations tell the story so well - just like the cliché "a picture's worth a thousand words."
The whole series of Richard Scarry's books for kids are both educational and entertaining - you'll find several reviewed here in the Learning Library.
Highly recommended!
