Parents and grandparents alike will enjoy a humorous look at Harriet Harris, known as a “pesky child.” Some examples of Harriet’s pesky behavior displayed in pictures include: knocking over her juice while hanging upside down on her chair at breakfast; painting a picture and holding it up for her mom to see while dripping on the carpet; and supposedly while napping her pillow rips open and feathers fly all over the bedroom. Harriet is always polite in saying “I’m sorry.” And, mom who doesn’t like to yell says, “Harriet my darling child; Harriet you’ll drive me wild.” The positive character traits and values found in this storybook include self-control, respect, love and nurturing, and family and belonging. The message we are sent as parents is that modeling acceptable behaviors is so important in the nurturing and caring of our children. As parents, we do our best to help our children grow to handle everyday happenings in life. After you have read this storybook, share this with your 4-7 year old child talking about Harriet and her happenings.
