No Biting! (Lift-The-Flap Book)

The books colorful pages and interaction with posed question to the lift-a-flap e hold my toddlers attention. This repetition of reading this book will provide my child the knowledge of what is OK to bite....like apples:)

Should have read other reviews before I bought this book. I want to have a book for my daughter who suddenly starts biting other toddlers at daycare. It is really not a "No biting" book. Only the first couple of pages are about biting. The rest of the book talks about other things such as hitting, kicking, or spitting.

I found this book online after reseach on children that bite. My son was a biter and after getting this book it helped him stop. I would recommend this book to anyone with a child that thinks they're a vampire!

I bought this book when my toddler went through a biting phase. This book is not only about no biting, but also no kicking, no hitting, etc. That's not the problem. My issue was that is said things like "don't kick the dog" or "don't hit mommy". My toddler wasn't doing those things, so I found that the book actually gave him ideas! Not a huge deal as we talked through it, but I much prefer "Teeth are not for biting" as it addresses biting ONLY.

This book has five "NO..." lessons for biting, hitting, pushing, kicking, and spitting. I am not going to read this book to my child because it's entirely possible that besides biting, he's now going to find pushing, kicking, and spitting interesting and try those out.

The review stated that the book was in "near new" condition and this was not true. The book had 1 missing page and several wripped pages. Don't know if I will order from this seller again!The book is well written and the baby loves it!

the book was written poorly.
the book's original production was cheaply made.
buyer listed used book as very good condition- even though every page had crayon scribbles on them.
total waste of money.

We bought this book for my daughter when she started biting other kids at her daycare (around 17 months old). It was such a hit with her, I also bought a few more copies for the daycare. Besides biting, it also addresses all the other negative behaviors we don't want our children engaging in. My daughter loves to lift the flaps and yell out the answers. When she does slip with one of the behaviors, I gently say, "No hitting. What can you hit?" She knows the answer right away and knows to apologize. At 2 years old, the book is still a hit and one we continue to ready daily. Fidning fun interactive books that teach a good message can be hard. This one makes it very easy for the parent!

I read the reviews before purchasing this book online, and decided to take the chance and buy it, I read the book to my 2yrs old daughter, yes she got new ideas from the book, and started practicing pushing and hitting, but then I reminded her of what the book said; don't hit mama, hit a drum, so now she goes: not mama, but the table or any item in the room. its a great book, it does work, and helps in simplifying bigger ideas & themes.
I highly recommend the I Can Share: A Lift-the-Flap Book its as good

This along with another book (Teeth are Not for Biting) really helped!!!!!!!!! We used this one at home and sent the other to daycare. We all agreed that both should get read to him everyday. Just last night he "read" the book to us. Biting stopped!

We provide assistance to Child Care providers who are including young children who are developing differently. When children don't have much language to express their feelings, wants and needs, they often use their body to communicate. Biting is one of those behaviors that children, especially toddlers use to communicate. Although it's not a socially appropriate behavior, its often expected when we have little ones with language challenges. This book is useful in helping children understand that biting hurts and is not "ok". It's easy for teachers (and parents) to use and children get the message quickly when they have repeated access to this type of social teaching.

I should have listened to the comments before I bought this book. It has cute pictures of biting and my daughter has become obsessed with it. Not as a mean act, but showing "teeth teeth" and saying "bite bite." The flaps are also too big for her to flip, so she only sees the images for biting or kicking friends and not for biting apples and kicking a ball.

I bought this book because my toddler's friends were starting to bite and hit and I thought I would teach mine before she started to do it as well. Instead of teaching her it's wrong to bite, hit, kick, push, etc. it taught her to do it. She never grasbed the idea of the second page that shows you what you can do instead. Ever since we read it the first time she now says, "Hit Friends!" "Hit Mommy" "Kick Dogs". I was reading in a childhood development book later that we shouldn't teach by saying, No or Don't do this. Instead we should teach by saying what we want them to do. When you give them the idea of we don't do something, they don't understand and they now have the idea that they can hit friends or kick dogs.

I'd recommend a book that says how toddlers should act like, we are gentle with animals. We hug our friends. Etc.

I had to hide this book.

GREAT BOOK ! MY DAUGHTER REMINDS ME, "MAMA, NO BITING." THE BOOK REVIEWS; NO BITING, NO HITTING, NO PUSHING, NO KICKING, & NO SPITTING. WHEN YOU FLIP THE PAGE, IT TELLS YOU WHAT YOU CAN BITE, PUSH, ETC... COLORFUL PICTURES. GOOD READING ! GOOD LESSONS !

I was expecting something more like "toes, ears and nose" but the flaps in this book are the entire page- difficult for little hands. Most disappointing is the story- negative, not inspired. I was looking for a nice story to help teach my son about biting. Don't waste your money.

This book addresses many issues, not just biting. We are trying to help my son refrain from biting as well as from being bitten at daycare. Its an over all great book and my son loves the pictures but its not solely about biting.

Excellent for very young children, particularly in group setting re no biting, pushing, kicking, spitting, etc. Simple text & large colorful multi-ethnic illustrations of children. Great price from the store.

Only the first page is about biting, and the flip page concept is confusing. First you look at what you're not supposed to do (eg. No biting) and then you look at what you are supposed to do (eg. Bite an apple?$#@!). I'm not impressed with the book at all and disappointed that the title is so misleading.

If you want a good book to help a toddle stop biting try "Teeth are not for Biting" It worked for us!
