Penguin Says Please (Hello Genius) Reviews
-
Another pleasant and thoughtful book with a great message!
-
I enjoy reading children’s picture books, but this one missed the mark for me.
The story is very simplistic, which is good for a toddler with a short attention span.
The illustrations were cute, but it is hard for me to imagine a child enjoying the story.
I had a family member who did not catch onto “please and thank you,” although her parents had good manners. I don’t think this book would have helped. The child is now 6yrs old, with siblings who are 4 and 2. They are all very well-mannered. The book may be a great book to read to some children. It is just not a book that I enjoyed.
I downloaded this as a free Amazon Prime.
Rated 2 stars -
The story teaches you to say please but not WHY we say please. very cute illustrations but such a tiny book with no real depth.

4* art (bright, bright colours and the expressions on the penguin are charming)
4* message
We worked very hard to get Squirt to say "please" instead of screaming for things, and this book is perfect to help reinforce the message. I think I have the Richard Scarry book for when he is older, but this series is perfect for him now. -
This was cute.

The very magic words please and thank you.Proper manner to teach young children how to speak.
Kids would like this book because it shows that momma penguin is teaching the penguin how to treat others kindly and not rude. A polite form of speaking to others while getting the things you need help with. -
Great!
My 6 year old did this as a read independently and loved it. She read fluently and quickly caught on the penguins demanding ways and was quick to tell him to use his manners. -
PLEASE!
The HELLO GENIUS series is a great set of books for two - five year old children. Each book stars a new creature, helping little ones identify animals. Short and to the point, the stories introduce simple manners and first words. Perfect teaching tools. -
Introduction to manners
This is a cute little story to help introduce manners to very young children. The little penguin demands what it wants, but the adult penguin asks him to say please. -
This book would be great for teaching younger children how to use their manners and say 'please' to get what they want. Parents could use this book after reading to remind the children of what they need to say when they want something.

“Penguin Says ‘Please’” by Michael Dahl contains illustrations by Oriol Vidal.
A very demanding Penguin learns the polite way to ask for things. The title gives it away and I liked how the back of the book states the book promotes “manners, speaking skills, first words and animal recognition”. -
Not that good, not that bad. I would be upset had I bought it instead of reading it for free.

Manners
Great teaching my little one manners. We read one every night before bedtime! He loves the great pictures! Thumbs up for sure! -
Too didactic, but the illustrations are cute.
-
I love this series of books! Great for with younger kids.
-
Cute book but short
It’s short, simple, and to the point with cute illustrations but I wasn’t compelled. This book had potential but It just falls short for me. -
Short and sweet
Cute. But also very short. However it does get it's point across that kids should say please and use good manners. -
My LO was very drawn to the illustrations in this book. Short and sweet, good for the toddler set.
