Neglects Basic Rules This book came highly recommended and so we got it for our 3 year old girl.

Worked well for one child, not the other MY EXPERIENCE

One of my favorite memories is from when she was in kindergarten and I took her back to her preschool to have her read a story to the preschool class.
