This book is appropriate for children four to eight years of age. I enjoyed this book as a child. This best book of manners ever illustrates that, even in strange and awkward circumstances, one should always be polite. It even worked with my most recalcitrant of three year olds. The Sendak illustrations are a big part of the book's success. In today's world we'd never get a children's book published that would ask questions like . . . "You are a cowboy riding around the range. Suddenly Bad-Nose Bill comes up behind you with a gun. He says, 'Would you like me to shoot a hole in your head?' What do you say, dear?" That's our loss. . . One day I at a bookstore I happened upon this book, and it's partner, and I was instantly brought back to my childhood. I had completely forgotten about them, but when I took them up and turned the pages, every picture jumped up as an old friend. I loved Sendak's wonderful illustrations as a kid, and they trigged a lot of thoughts. Needless to say, I bought them both at once. My son has loved them as well. no reviews | add a review
