![]() ![]() No author/illustrator team is more beloved than Else Holmelund Minarik and Maurice Sendak, creators of the classic Little Bear easy readers. Looking for a good book? No Fighting, No Biting! by Else Holmelund Minarik with art by Maurice Sendak is a god book for young readers. But this has proven to be a good book for decades so consider sticking with something that works and is still a delight. Why take a chance on something you're not sure about? Go to the library in that case. ![]() This book is considered a classic - a for a reason. There are a lot of books out there for children and it can be overwhelming on what to select. But she doesn't come right out and say "Play Nicely!" she still goes round-about, letting the children make the connection. Author Minarik addresses two children who aren't getting along. Or a pair of caterpillars on the same leaf. A story such as this might feature two bears trying to eat the same honey. And while many of the books at this level that are being written and published today are still didactic, they try to teach a lesson in an indirect way. It's quite charming, and it's actually ABOUT something (learn to play nicely). This is a Level 2/Grades 1-3 easy-to-read book. ![]() ![]() I don't review these older children's books too often, but I really should. This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. ![]()
