First published in 1946, Munro Leaf's How To Behave And Why gives touchingly sincere yet gently funny lessons in Honesty, Fairness, Strength, and Wisdom. Originally intended for the very young, but with meaning for us all, How To Behave and Why is a true classic, charmingly illustrated with childlike drawings, and with a timeless message. It is a sure guide for teaching children (and adults) how to behave. Review: Are the People I Know Glad That I Am Here? - Not a redefinition of rules for raising children, "How to Behave and Why" gives us exactly what we need without changing the game plan. The book is not fashionable. It certainly could not be labeled as recent findings either. Originally published in 1946, "How to Behave and Why" addresses common challenges when growing up and how to be a truly considerate person. Leaf's no-nonsense approach to being honest, strong, fair and wise gives his reader what we need to reap the rewards of treating others the way they deserve to be treated. Make no mistake; the author does not limit his wisdom to the very young. Adults, "the people that we meet each day", (to coin Sesame Street's popular phrase) can learn loads from asking ones self "are the people I know glad that I am here?" Mr. Leaf explains how necessary it is to get along well with other people and have most of them like you, if you want to be happy. Munro Leaf addresses the misnomer of what strong is. Not just an opportunity to show off muscles and strength, being strong is so much more. Being strong is doing what's right even when it's the hardest thing you've ever done. Having a clean, healthy mind allows people to be strong enough to, as stated earlier in the book, ensure that the people you know are glad you are here. We all want to be wanted. The book explains that it's not easy to do the right thing. Although it's easy to tell a lie, the consequences can be so negative, as explained in "How to Behave and Why", you gain a huge desire to be truthful and strong and fair and wise. This book is the perfect teaching tool for all adults. And not just to teach their children but to instill in their own lives as well. Review: An old book that people need now, more than ever! - Many years ago, I was browsing through a knick-knack type shop and saw this book on a shelf. The title alone sold me as this is a topic that I feel like our society needs lately. I was talking with a friend recently about this book and he expressed interest in seeing it...so I came on here and bought him his own copy. This book doesn't mess around...it gets straight to the point with stuff like "only a dope will tell a lie". Now...that's not the kind of language you'd typically hear in a kids book these days...but like I said, this is the kids of book that people (not just kids!) need to hear these days. No hidden or metaphorical messages, just straight up "here's how to act". And keep in mind that this is not a story...it's a series of important principals and reasons why they are important. It's not a book that my kids pick up and read for fun...they've got plenty of those. This is a book that "I" pull out and read with them as a form of instruction. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #126,813 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #267 in Children's Manners Books #609 in Children's Values Books #1,838 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 375 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Behave and Why - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WpkJ4oigL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Are the People I Know Glad That I Am Here? *by L***H on January 29, 2010* Not a redefinition of rules for raising children, "How to Behave and Why" gives us exactly what we need without changing the game plan.
