This one was about Snooping and focused more on the deviant side of it, rather than the casual, everyday sorts of things that you might do that qualify as snooping. For younger kids, I prefer the more common stuff and the reflections on how you would feel. However, a good lesson is a good lesson and I think this series is good for kids.

This little book helped my autistic son to understand why snooping isn’t a good idea and my daughter understand why ‘grandma got upset that one time’. I truly love these books.

Such a great book for kids and adults to read together!! Joy Berry has a wonderful way of bringing things to a kids level to help them understand things better. Sometimes as an adult we forget kids see and process the world differently than us.

Beautifully illustrated to help kids pay attention while learning valuable life lessons!

This series is wonderful for any home or classroom! I want them for he community center where I work!! I am also thrilled they are being made available as ebooks!!

A Children's Book about Snooping is a great book to help children deal with learning to respect others privacy, space and things. I like reading it to my grandchildren that are siblings to help them realize they need to treat each other the way they want to be treated. I have had a copy of this book and the rest of the set by Joy Berry for years and find them helpful to start discussions with young children to learn social skills.

I loved these books when I was little and I still feel they are very valuable and are a great way to teach youngsters important lessons that are often difficult to teach and learn.
