Saying thank you, washing hands, keeping a promise: My First Book of Good Habits puts small everyday behaviours in front of very young readers one page at a time.
OM Books pairs short, simple sentences with a bright illustration for each habit, so the idea lands visually before the words are fully decoded. The situations are ones a preschooler already recognises from home and nursery, which makes the point easy to connect to real life. Read aloud, a page takes under a minute, and the book slots into a bedtime or morning routine without stretching it. Over repeated readings children begin naming the habits themselves, which is usually the moment the lessons start to hold.
Key things to know:
• One habit per page, matched with a full-colour illustration
• Sentences short enough for reading aloud to a preschooler
• Situations taken from familiar home and nursery settings
• Built for repeat readings rather than a single pass
Parents of toddlers and preschoolers, along with nursery staff introducing basic manners, will find this OM Books title practical, and it is stocked at Boipoka.
