About This Book

Various animals humorously demonstrate all the things children should not do--like farting, burping, fighting, and never brushing their teeth.

Our Review

This clever picture book about social skills uses laugh-out-loud animal antics to teach proper behavior, featuring everything from burping bears to farting foxes demonstrating what not to do. The humorous approach to etiquette lessons transforms learning manners into a playful experience, addressing common childhood challenges like sharing struggles and dental hygiene resistance through vivid animal characters. Young readers will giggle at the exaggerated bad behavior while absorbing the underlying social-emotional learning about kindness and consideration.

What sets this children's book apart is its brilliant use of reverse psychology, allowing kids to recognize improper conduct through comedy rather than direct instruction. Parents seeking creative tools for teaching polite behavior will find this especially effective for spirited preschoolers who respond better to humor than lectures. The animal-themed etiquette guide delivers its important message about respect and hygiene through pure, uncomplicated fun that sticks with children long after reading.
