A new kind of interactive concept book, The Do's and Don'ts will be sure to entertain and engage your child while teaching them about positive manners, safety and kindness towards others.In this whimsical book aimed at teaching young readers the difference between good and bad behavior, Zack and Chloe go from being manner monsters to better behaved children, as they provide samples of typical scenarios that not only young children encounter but can relate to.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.For example, Zack becomes a Manner Monster when he loses a game, kicking and pouting like a poor sport. In contrast, 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.Going one step further, The Do's and Don'ts also displays safety tips like, "Don't open a door to strangers" and "Always look both ways before crossing the street."Perfect for children who have difficulties paying attention for long periods of time, each "do and don't" spread is a stand alone example, making it a great book for those on the spectrum or with learning challenges such as ADHD.Let's read together to promote bonding and enhance there learning experience!Perfect for children ages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
