 Funny June 29, 2008
Do Unto Otters is a book about something it seems the younger generation has forgotten, namely manners. Good manners are important and the saying do unto others has never rung more true.
 The Golden Rule May 3, 2008
This is a funny and great way to teach the Golden Rule! These are exactly the topics I want to teach and what a fun way to do it!
Cute way to teach kids about manners! May 3, 2008
Laurie Keller certainly has a vivid imagination, and all of her books play to kids' silly sides. This book is a great way to teach kids about the importance of being polite, without being preachy. My son and I laugh out loud when we read this book. She covers being friendly, saying please, thank you, and excuse me, honesty, cooperation, fair play, sharing, not teasing, forgiveness, and apologizing, and she throws in how to say some of the words in 5 different languages (one being pig Latin!) For those reviewers that slammed her use of passing gas, I feel that this is blown way out of proportion to the book as a whole. It is on one page of the book and it is only one side-bar illustration. And, let's face it, passing gas is funny to a 6 year old, but she shows the importance of having good manners about it if it happens to you. Please, thank you, and excuse me are oftentimes not heard uttered by the age group that she targets, so it is great way to share a story with your child while driving the point home that EVERYONE needs to have good manners. You and your child will thoroughly enjoy this book.
Great for kids who LOVE animals to learn from December 26, 2007
Clever, enthralling critters, lessons learned without realizing it. Five year old grandson loves having it read to him again and again.
DOO-DEE-DOO! December 17, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Silly, cartoony, just plain funny-fun illustrations fit flawlessly with this story about being kind to your neighbors. It's presented in a woodland setting where our main character, a rabbit has a new family of beavers move in. He accepts the mantra of "do onto otters as you would have done to you"... and winds up taking us on a journey of exactly how he'd like to be treated and we see the rabbit/beaver dynamic in full swing. Lots of fun! My favorite line happens in the front matter before the story has even begun... Rabbit hops around with a hearty "DOO-DEE-DOO!" Kids will no doubt be hopping around doing the same!
