Cute

I gave four stars for a great lesson learned. It has very cute artwork, and the book flowed really well.

I found this book at the library and was so excited to read it to my class. They are hung up on "fair" and getting what they want. I have seen a lot of fits. Anyway, the other teachers were less than enthusiastic, taking the wind out of my sails. I still like it and my own children like it and understand it. I will probably still read it to my class, but I am not looking forward to it like before. Sad.

Hmmm, I think this just may become part of a story time on manners! Great little book that I think most people (big and little) can relate too.

We get it, you made a cute rhyming rule. But you don't address WHY someone shouldn't throw a fit, or a better way to deal with situations. Show, don't tell. Make it MEAN something.

Recommended!

Fun story with a good message! My 6 year old enjoyed reading this book. She liked that he learned not to whine at everything.

Ok I really liked this book when I first read it, but after reading some of the lower reviews I thought more about the underlying themes of this book, which led to a low rating. I didn't really consider the fact that this book illustrates the parents as lacking in behavior management and puts all of the responsibility on the child's teacher. Also the main character is never given any tools or strategies to help with frustration or anger, he just has to basically get over it. Not the strongest messages we could be putting out there.

it works, but isn't a masterpiece, the concept could have altogether been done better

Cute and useful

This is a good book for young children who have a problem with not getting their way. The illustrations are cute. My kids really enjoyed it. (Even though one was throwing a fit because she wanted a different story.)
