This is such a fun book. Very basic sentences so parents are drowning in each page. Other than it being about a mom and son, it also teaches the value in being polite and asking nicely if you want something.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks like a used book

E. · August 14, 2024

I order this book because I used to read it to the child I used to take care of so now I want to read it to my child now. However, I ordered it and it was $14 plus tax. I received it today and it looks like a used book. I don’t might if it’s used book if it was not so expensive. Now I check the price and it about $6 in the same link. I don’t know if I should return it because it’s too expensive for the way it looks.

Adorable story about manners. My child is just learning to start sounding out words and recognize sight words. We read it together and I point while he recognizes and sounds out the words that I stop at. Lots of repeated words but a few new ones. After we read we often share a cookie together 😉 Perfectly age and reading level appropriate for 4 year old or older.

Un libro con frases cortas y fáciles para aprender ingles

Genial

C. · December 3, 2019

Libro de cartón para niños pequeños. Lo compré para mi hijo de 15 meses y le encanta. Ya aprendió a decir cookies. La historia es muy linda y hay partes que a mi hijo le hacen reír, como por ejemplo cuando a Alfie se le cae el bigote falso. Los dibujos son muy lindos y coloridos. Las frases son cortas y simples y muy fáciles de seguir y entender por el contexto.

Ótimo livro!

Adoramos o livro! Meu menino de 2,5 anos aprendeu a ser mais educado como o Alfie (personagem do livro). Quando ele quer algo e pede eu falo: 'Como o Alfie diz?' então ele pede com mais educação! Recomendo
