My son is 5 and thoroughly "got" the puns and humor decorating this book. It is a realistic theory of how new neighbors might react to each other because of differences in appearance, religion or identity. It lays all the possible horrors out on the table then discusses the issues from both neighbors' perspectives. This would be a terrific help to children in schools expecting new classmates, in neighborhoods of multi-race ethnicity, in shelters or foster homes. It is fun for the adults, too...and might cause them to think before speaking if they were to encounter a new neighbor who seems a bit odd. We loved the illustrations, and we wished we could have thought of the title.VERY CLEVER! WE decided to share it with our childrens church and it was received with smiles. We all could be blessed with giving a bit more grace. This provides a working manual of "HOW"!Read full review
I read this book to my Grandkids and they laughed at some of the pictures enjoying every page. Happily learning good manners. When I finished they said “Read it again!!!”

This is a fantastic way to help even the youngest children understand what good manners are all about! I even recently purchased an otter stuffed animal that will serve as our class manners mascot! LOVE IT!
Reminds all ages kids how to treat others.
