I bought this for my 2 year old. She isn't a big talker yet, so her frustration comes out with her hands. She loves the book, especially the page with lots of hands on it. She always waves "Hi" at the other hands. She is still hitting, I think she is still a bit young to get the concept, but we are working on it! I totally recommend this book!
I purchased this book for my 22 month old who has learned that hitting is an "effective" way to get his big brother's attention. My son is fascinated with this book and obviously gets the message. We have a few other books from this series and love them.
we like another book in this series, Germs Are Not For Sharing (no, i'm not a germ-phobe, my 2yo just liked the illustrations), and this one is great, too. I like the tips at the back for cooling off when angry. The trick of asking, "what are hands for? how about waving?" has worked every time (so far) that i've used it. keeps my 2yo from hitting her 8mo sister!
