Torn Pages in Book but EXCELLENT Customer Service
I received the book in a timely manner, but a few of the pages were torn. I contacted the seller and informed them of my disappointment. They were wonderful to me! They sincerely apologized for the product not being up to standard, and without me asking, issued me a full refund for my book! I loved this book so much when I was a child, and they’re excellent customer service, helped me realize that I can tape the pages and still read the book just fine.

No Fighting, No Biting is one of my favorite children's books, and I give it to family members with toddlers sixty years later. Embattled Cousin Joan and the irrepressible Willie and Rosa, no-nonsense Mother Alligator and her irrepressible Light Foot and Quick Foot, and the Big Hungry Alligator are characters who will amuse the adult reader and the child listeners. Sendak's illustrations are to the point, as usual.

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2019

My brother loved this book as a little boy. I purchased it for friends who have a seven year old girl and a 2-1/2 year old boy. The little boy is rough and tumble and bites, and kicks andscratches, as most little ones his age do, when unable to express themselves. The little girl LOVES the book, and I've had to read it to her several times. Often more than once in a day. The little boy enoys the little alligartor children and is learning the phrase, "No Fighting, No Biting". The book was in excellent condition, and sent faster than I had even expected, which was a plus, since it wasn't meant to be for Crhistmas, but arrived before hand.

This is the best book if you have two or more children around the same age. Then you can tell them "NO FIGHTING NO BITING!" Also, it's a good early-ish reading book because the kids will really identify with the characters and remember a lot of the words so making it easier to read.

While the language is simple, this delightful story within a story is compelling and fun. Early readers will enjoy the high-interest story, and the illustrations beautifully communicate aspects of the story in a visual way. This author/artist team is the same one responsible for the wonderful "Little Bear" books. If you're looking for something that celebrates childhood from the perspective of a child, this is a great start.
