This book is a great way to teach toddlers about how to behave around other people and what is right and wrong. I definitely recommend it to any parent that is going through the overexposure and private questions stage in toddlers. by E. Oliver 5 starts Can never be too safe Short and informative, every kid needs a book like this! By Faith M. 5 stars An Early Valuable Lesson This book is a great little simply put lesson, which aided my daughter a better understanding on what parts should be kept private, without getting into abuse, which other books have. She is too little to understand abuse and quite frankly, I don't want to scare her yet... I recommend this book when you can see that your child is getting a little curious. By Melissa K. 5 stars Great for toddlers! My two year old loves this book and we love it too! We were aware that we needed anage-appropriatee book to begin talking about our bodies having private areas and saying no if necessary without scaring him and since he is so little he just loves the fish and crab illustrated and practically has the whole book memorized at this point.
