This board book teaches little ones a very important lesson: tails are not for pulling and pets are not for teasing! It teaches to be nice to your pets and that they will warn you when there is something they don't like. This is a good book for children getting a first pet, having problems with their own pet, or visiting a friend or relative's house where there will be animals. Young children will enjoy the colorful, child-like illustrations full of various creatures. The language is simple to understand, but will still probably need to be read by the parent. The author kept things upbeat and does not scold the reader. Preschool Age.
This book is good for teaching young ones to be gentle with their pets. We use gentle caring hands when it comes to playing with your pets. It's a very simple read for young readers to follow along. The pictures are colorful and simple for little eyes.
Liked how it introduced the idea of a pet's hissing or growling to mean "hands off." We have used that quite a bit lately.
For children 1-5. This book is about children interacting with their pets and who to treat animals. This will help with children curiosity, leaning how to interact with pets, with emotional support, decision making.
