A menagerie of animals demonstrate what it means to be nice to others.
Personal Reaction:
The Nice Book demonstrates in simple pictures and words what it means to be nice to others. Monkeys hug, warthogs share and horses nuzzle, while other animals demonstrate behavior that is not so nice- snakes squeeze, a toad stares, and birds hit. Text appears in a variety of fonts, colors, shapes and sizes, echoing the actions it describes. Stein's appealing illustrations resemble finger paint creations, loose and almost child-like in their execution. This book is sure to spark conversation about what is- and isn't- nice among kids and parents.
