PS
Colorful animals demonstrate Stein's advice on good behavior. The unpretentious text offers basic rules ("When you get in a snit, don't hit!") and reminds readers that sometimes having time alone is as important as being with friends. The acrylic, ink, marker, and digital illustrations are reminiscent of finger painting. Sound advice and good humor impart wisdom without didacticism.
