review 1: This is such a simple book (most pages only have one word) but it carries such a sweet and deep message. With beautifully painted illustrations, Stein, using animals, portrays different ways that we can be nice to those around us. This would be a great book to use when teaching kids the importance of being nice. And although it is probably more appropriate for the pre-K ages, I think that it would be appropriate in an elementary for K-3.
review 2: Stein is the author of one of my favorite picture books, _Leaves_, and has created another endearing book reminding readers that "love was meant to be passed on". A variety of friendly animals (featuring kindhearted koalas, amiable alligators, and lovable lemurs)depict how to treat one another, while variations in fon... moret and text size reveal the rhyming advice:"LOOK...but don't stare. If you have more than you need, SHARE."The art is done in a combination of sketches and acrylic paint, and has a lively, jovial feel. less
