From Booklist
In the simplest of formats, with just a few words of text, various animals placed against blank backgrounds demonstrate what it means to be nice—koalas “cuddle,” chicks “nestle,” and horses “nuzzle.” Other animals illustrate how to be gentle: “Squeeze . . . not too hard!” and “Pat . . . but don’t stomp flat!” are paired with monkeys hugging and an elephant patting a cat, respectively. The narrators then move to anger management: “When you get in a snit, Don’t hit—say how you feel. Take time.” Reminiscent of the style and design of many of Chris Raschka’s books, especially his Thingy Things series, abstract brush strokes create the bodies of the animals with facial features drawn in black lines to give them definition. The backgrounds, which are blank in most cases, are brightly colored or stark white. The endpages modify the concept with continuous sets of alliterative words that run off each edge of the pages, like “lovable lemurs” and “hospitable hogs.” Enjoyable, informative, and just plain nice. Preschool-Grade 2. --Randall Enos
