This is a great picture book about how some need "alone time." It speaks to me as an introvert. It would be a great tool for teaching about introversion.

[Beth · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book that honors the introvert's need to get away to be alone and recharge in knowing when to say enough is enough

Saltzberg, Barney Enough is Enough! PICTURE BOOK. Creston Books, 2018. $17. 9781939547422.

Olive has had with her little brother’s pestering, so tells him enough is enough! It takes a little convincing, but her leaves her alone, and she has a chance to rejuvenate until she is ready to play again.

The summary makes it sound a bit odd, but in reality Saltzberg’s book is quite satisfying and fun. Olive tears a little hole in the backdrop of each page as she moves from scene to scene, which gives this a little kick and when she goes back to her brother, I too felt it was just the right time to return. What a great way to show feuding siblings that quiet time is a great time to savor, not sulk.

A really important message in a simple understandable way for kids! Love how it teaches readers to know when to take a personal break and that it is ok. Great for shy or introverted kids but also for all children to know how to take care by healthy decision making. Taking a break from a person for alone time is great reminder even for me as an adult! Love the creativity with the sister tearing a hole in the book. Very fun imagery!

Two siblings bicker a bit before the older one tears a hole in the wall and takes time for some peace and quiet from the other. Of course, the sibling returns to share a story.

Barney Saltzberg is a genius with book design!

Highly relatable. Sometimes you just need some alone time when the person you spend a lot of time with talks non-stop. But also there can be such a thing as too much alone time. Cute way to illustrate this concept for children.

A cute story of sibling rivalry and love.

[Erin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute illustrations a good way to teach little ones about personal space and that not everyone wants to play all the time and that's ok.

In this cleverly illustrated book, an older lamb tries to escape the younger sibling in ways that will captivate readers. A gentle-as-a-lamb story perfect for little ones.
