Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Author: Hayley Rose
Publisher: Inkwell Productions
Pages: 46
Description:

The Do’s and Don’ts is a whimsical lesson book aimed at teaching young readers the difference between good and bad behavior/etiquette. In the book Zack and Chloe go from being manner monsters to well-behaved children as they provide samples of typical scenarios that not only young children encounter but can relate to. For example, Zack becomes a Manner Monster when he loses a game, kicking and pouting like a poor sport. In contract, good behavior is then modeled depicting Zack congratulating the winning team. Unlike other etiquette books for children that tell a story or just communicate positive behavior, The Do’s and Don’ts compares and contrasts between good and bad behavior. Simply, yet colorfully displayed, are examples of inappropriate behavior and decisions young children may display followed by behavior and decisions that are more socially accepted. Each compare and contrast anecdote is set in the same scene so that young readers can instantly see the differences between good and poor behavior.

Review:

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.

What a cute book! Not only does The Do’s and Don’ts have cute illustrations but it contains some great etiquette advice for children.

For each “Don’t” in the book, the next page has an example of a “Do.” The “Don’t” has a picture of a little red monster doing the wrong thing. The next page has a cute child doing the right thing. For example, one “Don’t” is jumping and playing on the furniture. The corresponding “Do” page shows a child jumping and playing on a playground instead.

I think this is a great book for young readers. It’s fun to read and it teaches manners at the same time.
