Helps a young child to consider the possibilities of acting without thinking of outcomes. Great book. Even adults should read this...just not the children who it is written for. Great Wonderful for teaching some good manners. I recommend this book for all ages. I give it an a+ review for content and artwork. Not much of a plot. Works better to stimulate in-class discussion of mindful behavior. Great book for my students! My daughter loves this and actually applies the concept to her life. We loved this book!! Used this book in my social studies lesson plan! Love it! I will be the one who is going to ask this question!! Its worth to read with your kid's to learn the everyday life encounter's. Highly recommended for the young and curious ones. This was purchased as a gift for my grandson, and he enjoyed reading it.
