Listen and Learn Paperback – Picture Book, March 15, 2003

I love this book. It has helped my son get ready for school and even now when we go over “rules” we refer back to it.Great images that make it easy to explain the classroom setting and expectations!

I cannot say enough good things about this book! As I read through this book with my 6 & 7 year old sons and asked questions, they began role playing and role modeling the ideals in the book. This has never happened before!!! I knew they "heard" and understood and were processing the importance of listening to hear and using our words to help others understand our feelings and needs as well as understand others' feelings and needs. This is an excellent addition to any family's library!!!

These books are great to help with many life situations for little ones. We can talk about the pictures and it has easy simple text that he can follow. I’ve seen him put these into life too. My son is going into k with some special needs and I believe these have really helped prepare him.

Good book to teach values but I guess my 4 yo gets bored of it. There's no story, it's not funny, nor is it imaginative. Kinda preachy.

This is the second book in the Learning to Get Along series that we have purchased for my son.He's four and recently started preschool. Before now, he's never been in any sort of daycare facility, since I work from home. We expected him to be excited about preschool and to mind as well as he does at home. Boy, were we in for a rude awakening. Everything went downhill after the first day. We got reports from his teacher that he was crying, whining, hitting other children, refusing to participate and even hit his teacher at one point. This was such a far cry from the sweet, loving child I knew at home that my first reaction was to blame the teacher. That's terrible, I know, but he had never acted this way before. After some consideration and a meeting with his teacher, I was finally able to accept that the problem was my boy was having difficulty adjusting to a social setting after spending so much time at home, with me.I stumbled upon the Learning to Get Along series of books by accident and I couldn't be happier. We started out with Know and Follow Rules and were so impressed by the changes in my son that I immediately bought Listen and Learn. He studied the illustrations carefully, including the look on the children's faces while I read it to him and pointed out what the children were doing (like sitting quietly in a group, focusing on the task at hand, not yelling). I think he had such a difficult time at first because he honestly didn't understand what was expected of him. This book helped to show him how to act in school. It hasn't changed him overnight, but there have been definite improvements. I can use examples from the book to help him understand why he's getting in trouble at school and to help redirect his behavior.There are also several pages in the pack for parents. Suggestions on how to explain the contents in the book to your children, games that will help them learn and different strategies to help them follow rules. It still takes work, but I couldn't be happier with this book, or the others we've purchased in the series.

I've purchased several of these books. Since teaching kids is all about repeating things, I thought reinforcing lessons like this at story time would be helpful. As a parent, I don't know what you're looking for out of this book. A moral lesson? A teaching moment? A magic cure for bad behavior? If it's the latter, it's not in this book. However, the fact that you're looking for a book to help your kid says a lot about your character as a parent, in my opinion. My kid has severe ADHD and needs social boundaries and rules repeated over and over for them to sink in (even more than the average kid already does). We even did PCIT together last summer to prepare him better for the classroom. If you have a kid with behavior/learning issues, I highly recommend these. He identified with the kids in the books, they are cartoon-like yet realistic, and the kids respond how real kids do in classroom situations. We read 3 books at bedtime and most nights I include a behavior/lesson book like this.They even have great sections in the back on how to talk to your kids about the lessons in the book.

Best Listening book we’ve found for a busy toddler

This a great series for teaching young kids social skills. They are wonderful for my Autistic child who struggles in social situations. with bright colorful illustrations and easy to understand words they are fun to read and kids can easily understand the concepts! We already have several others in the series because we like it so much!

Awesome series, made a big difference we would recommend them to any parent struggling with helping their child through social rules and classroom rules.

Gud book

The books on this collection by Cheri Meiners are wonderful. They discuss simple problems which small children of pre-school and young school age face, including how to learn to listen, to share, to care about others, to follow the rules, amongst many others. The books are written in simple language and richly illustrated, so young ones learning to read will benefit from the content as well as the opportunity to practice their reading. A must-have for parents!

Still waiting for this to work on my child lol. In all seriousness, it’s a good book.

A really well written book that keeps a young child's interest and enables them to understand such an important topic. Will be buying more from this range on child development.
