This book was my son’s favorite as a kid. I am happy to purchase it once again for a friends little one. It teaches manners while introducing different animals.

Loved by all
Format: Board book
Both of my daughters have loved this book. I bought it initially for my 12 year old (as a toddler) and she adored the different animals voices I would do. Bought it again for my 18 month old and she just giggles and giggles.

Love Mr Panda
Format: Board book
Love this book. My nanny kiddos now remember to say please, though they took it kinda literally and if you don't say please they will refuse you in return, which is good they learn to set their own boundaries! Fun, easy to read, flows, and gives the opportunity to talk about setting boundaries and being polite!

Greatest Book Ever
I have ordered this book over 12 times for baby showers. I love this illustrations and every principal it stands for. Ignore the haters. I think it’s wonderful to instill in children a core foundation of civility in a society that has a proclivity of demanding what they want. I know a few adults who could learn something from this book today.
