I was looking for a book that would teach my small children (3 & 5) some cause & effect relationships. If you act this way...this happens. I agree with the other reviewer that said that this book just doesn't make sense to small children. The pictures are all black & white, and the writing isn't clear. I wanted so badly to love this book when I ordered it after reading the rave reviews, however, it just didn't cut it.We do, however, LOVE the Julia Cook books. Each story addresses a very specific topic (Tattling, Interrupting, etc) and then offers ways to help stop that specific behavior. The stories are relate-able and clear to small children, unlike this book.
