I like the way this book makes me feel.
I like the way this book makes me feel. Hang on, Hopper! is a very pleasant introduction into Pfister's mycological studies. I find it also gives great insight into his philosophical beliefs. I mean, Hang on, Hopper! Brilliantly, Pfister expresses a lot of the frustrations that encounter today's youth. He provides helpful suggestions for all of us, so that we can keep control, "hang on" if you will, and in the end, triumph. ... Read more

Simple Text That Gets an Important Message Across
This 19-page book contains simple text and warm, gentle, colorful illustrations. I think caring adults should read this book to every child age 2 and up; children age 4-8 will probably be able to read it themselves. The book covers a few simple concepts that would not only empower a child, but shy/unassertive people of any age.

By the end of the book, you'll know: 1)your body belongs to you; 2) it's okay if you don't want to be touched; 3)what to do if you don't want to be touched; 4) your "private parts" are the parts of your body that are covered by a bathing suit, and 5) you shouldn't keep a "touching" secret.

However, this message is conveyed in a very safe, non-threatening manner, and the book begins and ends by acknowledging that most of the time we do like getting hugs and kisses. (Not all touches are bad).

I highly recommend this book!

Excellent book that can be read to a preschool class
After an incident of inappropriate touching in my class, I looked depserately for books about our bodies/our rights that would be appropriate to read to a group of 3-5 year olds. While there are many good books out there, too many are only appropriate from parent to child, or instigate TOO many questions. I didn't want to introduce too much information to those children who are still young and innocent, but I wanted a forum to open discussion in our classroom. This book simply describes that your body is your own, and there are touches you like and touches you might not like (like tickling)

Lovely book
A book for very young children on how to avoid sexual abuse. Nicely written, very sweet, well-done illustrations. As a therapist who works with children who have been abused, I strongly recommend this book for children 7 and under. ... Read more
