You can never go wrong with reading a Richard Scarry book. This book teaches manners to young children very well. My young granddaughter has started speaking in complete sentences, and she is using please and thank you. This book is a good introduction for using these words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun way to learn good behavior!
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2014
Verified Purchase
Good value for the price, you get 7 short stories with this book & the illustrations are very well done. If your child's attention span can't handle the entire book you can still manage a few. Lots of funny action pictures to hold their interest, my 4 1/2 yr old son flips through the book on his own just to look at the pictures and they are descriptive enough to follow the story without reading the words. It's a favorite book to listen to because he is of age to get in trouble and to be held accountable, so he likes to see that he is not the only one. His favorite story is Pig Will and Pig Won't. Hint: Say "I won't" with an angry piggy snort! This cracks kids up, they will anticipate the words and snort along with you "I won't"! Sometimes works to change a defiant or lazy mood when I ask him to do something, I will ask "is my D. a pig will or pig won't today?".. helps to snort a little! Can't overuse it though..

My 2 years old child loves this book!
Such a goods collection of stories, which are teaching children good manners.
After reading a story, my child is allowed topick one sticker, find same picture, and stick it on top of it. Great practice to find identical pictures.
Unfortunately, we read this book so many times and only 2 stickers left, which will last for 2 more readings. I wish there are more books like that.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2 yr old son LOVES this book
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this for my son to introduce him to saying please and thank you in a manner that wasn't me (his mom) or his dad constantly asking him to say it. Now he reads through this book at least once a day (he has for the past 3 months that we've had this book), and he recites to me all the things that you should do and all the things that you shouldn't do. He points out who is good and who is bad in the book. And when he acts up all I have to say to him is "does Lowly worm (or whoever I can remember) do that in the book? Is he rude?" and instantly he is reminded to not act a certain way. It's much more effective than me asking him to stop. This is a book that should be in every child's library. I read the "top" review here, whatever that means, where the reviewer stated they didst' like the book because it was too negative. That review reeks of a nanny parent; please get over yourself. Give me a break - you are and adult and a parent, you are not your child's friend and a healthy dose of Vitamin NO is exactly what every 2 yr old needs. Highly highly highly recommend for all parents of very young children.

Love that it is several stories. My daughter picks three different ones every night. I imagine we have about 700$ worth of children books but this is her go to! It also helped with some issues we were having with manners. Its cute and fun and became a wonderful reference about how to act in certain situations. So glad I bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Richard Scarry is still the best.
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2013

I had this book when I was growing up and loved it. My mother was a school teacher back then, so she thoughtlessly gave away all of my favorite books to the less fortunate kids in her classroom. She's lucky it's still in print, and so is my son. It is a great book 40 years later. Good manners and thoughtful behavior are modeled by Richard Scarry's silly animal characters in a genuinely funny way that will even have adults laughing. There are so many interesting details on every page that it keeps my son interested, too. I would've paid more than the $3.59 they're selling it for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un Classique, ludique et bien détaillé
Reviewed in France on June 5, 2018

J'ai bien aimé les livres Richard Scarry quand moi j'étais petite, donc ou commencer pour ma petite fille de 20 mois? Le prix de ce livre, broché, etait bien abordable. J'ai craqué.

Ma petite (au moment d'achat 20 mois) a tout de suite accroché aux deux premiers histoires "The Busy Day" et "Pig Will and Pig Won't"--ce dernier tellement amusant à lire a haute voix! Au debut, on le lisait uniquement pendant les trajets de tram (longue!). Captivant pour elle, surtout les images. Sans lire les mots, on peut déjà explorer les histoires a travers les images. Elle a souvent demandé qu'on la lisent les histoires dedans, meme si elle ne voulait pas forcement toute l'histoire du debut à la fin. Maintenant à 26 mois, elle commence a les "lire" toute seule, racontent les exploits de "Huckle Lo-wey" et "Pig Wool, Pig WOT!" plus ceux du Sargent Murphy, le pauvre policier qui court dans tout les sens !

Elle comprend bien déjà quand les petits animaux dans les histoires ecoutent bien ou pas ou s'ils font des betises. Avant tout, elle aime les histories avec un proces bien clair. Il y a deux qu'elle est trop petit pour appécier. Elle cherche certains images toute seule, comme les papas/mamans qui s'embrassent ou le doudou perdu (car elle ne portait pas sa ceinture de sécurité).

Elle est au début de "comprendre" la politesse--elle nous imite avant tout, mais je trouve que presenter les concepts, c'est une bonne chose en soi. En plus de la politesse, il y a aussi des notions de prendre soin de soi-même et les autres et "safety" general.

C'est très anglo-saxon, par contre, style des bonnes manieres. Ca reste aussi assez traditionnel vis à vis les roles hommes-femmes (maman fait la vaisselle, les filles et femmes portent tous les robes, le policier c'est un homme, et tout les couples sont ensembles et probablement mariés). Je vous conseille vraiment de feuilleter et lire les extraits sur Amazon--c'est exactement le style du livre.

The quality of paper in my opinion was a bit low, but the content more than makes up for it. The book have several lovely short stores that emphasize the importance of good manners and good habits. The stories are structured so that it makes it easy for children to understand and relate to with actions and consequences well laid out. There is a lot going on in this book and a lot of nice pictures for children to look at. My child loves it.
