I've never reviewed a product before, but I love this book so much, I just had to. I'm just starting manners education with my 17 month old boy and this book is a nice way to get the conversation going. It touches on all the basics like saying Please and Thank You, Excuse Me, saying Hello and Goodbye and making eye contact. This book is simple enough that it works well for a child as young as mine, but I could see this book working just as well, or better, for older toddlers and preschoolers.The book won't teach your child everything all on its own, but it's a nice non-confrontational way to sit down and talk about what behavior is expected in different situations. We've only had this book a couple of weeks and I've even seen some results, especially saying Hi and Bye and waving. And, although he's too young to say Excuse Me, whenever I say it for him as a prompt after he burps, he's starting making the cute hand-on-chin expression that the boy on that page makes!I have a couple of books from the Toddler Tools series (also Calm-Down Time (Toddler Tools)) and they are both excellent discussion and teaching tools, but I also want to point out that they're very pretty books. I also have several of the Best Behavior series (Hands Are Not for Hitting (Board Book) (Best Behavior Series), Teeth are Not for Biting, Diapers Are Not Forever (Board Book) (Best Behavior Series)) --can you tell I have a toddler?-- and several other teaching books which are excellent, but I've noticed that many of the instructional toddler board books sacrifice style points and focus on content. (Don't get me wrong, I'd also recommend the Best Behavior series in a heartbeat. The content is fantastic.) That's fine, but it's refreshing to have form and function in one book. There's something about the look of these books (the illustrations are a combination of drawings with scans/photos of real textures, from fabric, to berber carpeting, to wood...) that keeps my toddler bringing these to me and ASKING to hear about manners!
