Description:

"No matter where you are or who you are, there are four main things that you have to do if you want to make good friends and keep them.

You have to be HONEST
You have to be FAIR
You have to be STRONG
and you have to be WISE
And there is no good in trying to fool yourself. All that isn't so easy."

In a time when all the rules for raising children have been redefined dozens of times, here is a book for bewildered parents from a simpler time when we all agreed on what was right and what was wrong. First published in 1946, Munro Leaf's How To Behave And Why gives touchingly sincere yet gently funny lessons in Honesty, Fairness, Strength, and Wisdom. Originally intended for the very young, but with meaning for us all, How To Behave and Why is a true classic, charmingly illustrated with childlike drawings, and with a timeless message. It is a sure guide for teaching children (and adults) how to behave.

5Excellent, hilarious book  Jul 06, 2009
My boyfriend read this children's style book aloud to me and we both cracked up. Describes why to act the way we were taught in a matter-of-fact way that will make any adult with a dry sense of humor laugh.

5Even Children Love It!  Jan 12, 2009
I ordered this book thinking that it would help me to explain to my boys (aged 5 & 4) what I mean when I ask them to "behave". I did not expect that they would enjoy it so much. My 5 y.o. says it's his new favorite book. Although I substitute my own language in some places, for the most part the simplistic drawings support the straight forward language. I recommend this book to all parents of youngsters.

I love this book. It is shared by a wide range of ages, and all of the children I work with get the humor and the message...

5A MUST HAVE!  Sep 19, 2008
Every family should have a copy of this book in their home library, or on their child's bookshelf! Every family member, young and old, should read it, and re-read it. WHY? Because it makes sense! It's about life, and how we need to live and cooperate with one another....it's how we ALL need to behave and why! It's every lesson we need to teach our children in order for them to become good little people, and it's a reminder for all adults out there too. It's A MUST HAVE!

3too long for 6 and 5 year olds  Sep 15, 2008
I think that the lesson is a good one and something that every child needs to know, but its also a little long. My boys didn't have the patience for it. They were ready to go to the next thing after about half of it. I enjoyed it more than the kids.
