No Hitting Please: A Social Story to Stop Toddlers and Kids from Hitting (Picture Books for Kids) Paperback – Large Print, May 22, 2024

This book would be extremely beneficial for anyone with an emotionally expressive young child. My wife and I know from experience that intense emotions can sometimes lead young children to act in ways they typically wouldn't. Having this book would have been a great support in reinforcing the strategies we taught our child.

This is a super cute book that discusses an important issue that some young children deal with. It offers a very practical solution for dealing with the issue. The book is very well written and is also beautifully illustrated. Parents are sure to enjoy reading this to their children, while the book is sure to hold kids' attention.

Very nice book, beautiful in many ways. It is put into a rhyme, so it's a pleasure for a kid to listen to. The illustrations are made by a real artist, with a great taste and love towards kids. The story explores a variety of situations a kid gets mad, and different approach how to handle the anger. I am super happy with the book, and definitely recommend it to anyone who’s searching for a “don’t hit” book for their young kids. 3-k library would also benefit from it for sure!

This is a good book for small children about what to do when they feel like hitting. However it does say “hitting is bad” without making the distinction that the boy who hits is not bad, he’s just having a rough time. I would have preferred that be clarified in the book. It starts abruptly, but the ending is very nice.

This was a great story about a boy that learned not to hit. He learned many different ways to get over his frustration. I liked the illustration and how the books theme stood consistent and reinforced the theme of the book.

This book offers invaluable help for young children who may struggle with frustration and anger that leads them to hitting. Through simple yet ingenious scenarios, the author presents many common situations that young children could easily relate to as causing frustration and leading to the desire to hit. However, through beautiful rhyming and repetition, children will begin to predict when the boy of the story will begin to feel angry and will remember the fact that “hitting is bad.” In every instance, the boy is given help to find a better way to deal with his anger rather than hitting. These coping skills are presented in a clear, direct fashion that will easily allow your child to remember and apply them to their angry moments as well. Children will be inspired as the boy of the story grows so much in his understanding of dealing with his anger that, at the end of the story, he is able to help his sister with her anger as well! The book’s illustrations have a watercolor quality and are definitely another bonus of the book as they beautifully capture the emotions of the story as well as the reader’s attention.

This book is gentle, kind, and very effective in helping kids understand emotions and learn better ways to express them. I love how simple and clear the message is. My Goddaughter really connected with it and took the book to bed with her. It's a great resource every parent should use for teaching kindness and self-control in a positive yet simple way.

This book is adorable, straightforward, and engaging. The repetition effectively reinforces key ideas, which is particularly beneficial for young children. It’s refreshingly uncomplicated, as it doesn’t need to be, and provides clear examples of constructive ways to handle anger without resorting to hitting.
