My 1 year old baby girl loves this book. She has been saying Hi, hello and bye nonstop ever since we started to read this book to her.

Talking about hitting to a young child is not very easy. I was just used to say to my son (almost 3), stop it with no explanations. Thanks to this book, I've got clear words. After saying stop, I add "Don't forget that hands are for..." and I repeat what is in the book. There's not a lot of words, but they are very clear for a young child and my son even asks questions after or try to find another way to use his hands. I was a little reluctant because of the title. I try to give him a positive education and the title is a negative sentence, but inside the book everything is positive so the messages are clearer.
