The best children’s books share several elements in common. They blend humor, quality storytelling and whimsy with a message that even kids can interpret. Dr. Seuss is the author who stands out as a classical example of this approach. From “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” – a screed against miserliness and greed – to “The Butter Battle Book” – an anti-war manifesto fit for first-graders – the good doctor was constantly couching his messages in a veneer of childish rhymes and dazzling artwork.
While few of today’s works of basic children’s literature compare to the classics, “Spongebob Squarepants: Just Say Please” might be a worthy successor. Among the many discount childrens books on the market, this one provides a teachable lesson in etiquette and politeness. And of course kids will enjoy the goofball characters that populate Spongebob’s underwater domain as well.
