From the publisher

Teach little ones why and how to be kind to animals and to ask before touching someone’s pet. If pets could talk, what would they say? Maybe “Fur is for petting, backs are for scratching, noses are for nuzzling . . . and tails are not for pulling!” Toddlers and pets belong together–as long as toddlers don’t chase, grab, squeeze, yank, and tease. In simple words and delightful illustrations, this English-Spanish bilingual board book teaches the basics of kindness to animals: careful handling, awareness, safety, and respect. A section for adults provides discussion and activity guides in both English and Spanish that reinforce the book’s message. Best Behavior series Simple words and lively full-color illustrations guide children to choose positive behaviors. Select titles are available in two versions: a durable board book for ages 1-4 and an expanded paperback for ages 4-7. Bilingual board book and paperback editions of all titles also are available. Kids, parents, and teachers love these award-winning books. All include helpful tips for teachers, caregivers, and parents.
