Book Description

3 and upP and up
A book of manners with flaps, changing-picture wheels, and humor!

Lucy is drinking a glass of cold, delicious milk, and her brother, Milo, wants one, too. “Milk!” he screams—but to no avail. No matter how much he carries on, Mommy will not give Milo milk . . . until Lucy tells him, “Use the special word.” Milo tries all the words he can think of, and when none of them works, he thinks of another one—“Please.” And Mommy brings him milk.

Told with great humor and lots of insight into young children, this book will make kids laugh out loud, and changing-picture wheels and lift-the-flaps add to the merriment. And it has a hilarious ending that will really ring true to parents and caregivers who get trapped by their own pronouncements. Learning to say “please” and “thank you” has never been such fun.

More About the Author

Here are some things I have learned:

Using comics can be a good way to tell a story.
Fed Ex envelopes are handy for filing stuff.
Revising is surprisingly satisfying, but not always easy.
Some things are fun to look at, but not fun to own.
A day can be long.
A day can be short.
And sometimes one little thing can change a whole day. Like the time I got the good parking spot outside Trader Joes - good day!

Best wishes to you, for a good one!

Charise

4.0 out of 5 stars Son enjoys it, February 13, 2010
By 
Rob E-H (N. Andover, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Milo's Special Words (Hardcover)
Our 2.5 year old son enjoys the book greatly. We borrowed it from the library on a whim and he loves reading it. From the interactive parts (turning the circles around) to the coloring and photos to the story, it has been his favorite book. Unsure how he is going to take to the book going back to the library - but he has truly enjoyed reading it. 4 out of 5 stars only because it is relatively short and he wants it to be longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cute Book, February 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Milo's Special Words (Hardcover)
Bought this for my husband's nephew who is named Milo. Didn't know much about it, but when we got it I read it to the boys and they loved it. It's a super cute book with pop-ups and pull-outs for the kids to do as you read it.
