I thought this was a cute book. Great illustrations. Wonderfully simple and funny story of Doodle who wants to bite everything and the consequences. A great tale for kids preschool kids who often have to deal with a biter in school or daycare. My four-year-old was distressed by this book though. He didn't like that Doodle got his mouth bandaged up to keep her from biting. He thought it cruel. And, when I stopped to think about it, it isn't the best solution in the real world. To physically bind someone's mouth who bites. But, if anything, at least the story can create a conversation between child and parent about these things.
