Jumping the snark (for the toddler/ pre-k crowd)April 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this for my 3 yo so we could explore ways of talking to people (each other, family and friends) and work on tone (who knew toddlers could dish snark so early?). She responds to the pictures, where some of the kids look like her and her friends at daycare. I like that there is just the right amount of text, not too didactic, and there are great opportunities for her to imagine what the kids might be saying to each other. She really could identify with the scenes depicted - the illustrations are thoughtful and pleasing. Great opportunity to tackle potentially tough topics, like learning how to share and how to respect other people. Best line: getting along can be more important that getting your way all the time.
Excellent bookJanuary 12, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have two children, a seven year old boy diagnosed with aspergers, and a four year old boy. I picked it up primarily for my older son.
There is something about the flow of ideas in this book which is very engaging. I found this myself and both of my sons were taken in by it too. The language is clear and logical and quite simply makes a lot of sense. I think this is an excellent book for children such as my older son who need the kind of reasoning used in the book to be layed out logically and explicitly for them.

The products arrived in a timely manner and they were exactly what I wanted. In fact, some other people liked them so much that they wanted to order this series of books. (They were Christmas presents.)

This is a great book to teach children about getting along & nowadays teaching children to get along is so important. I purchased the book as a gift & the truth is I really bought this book hoping the parent's reading the book might learn something; it is hard to teach something you don't know yourself.
