Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen Hardcover – Picture Book, August 1, 2008

My little was having a hard time with listening, so I bought a few books for us to read so he could work on those skills. This is his favorite one. Also, his listening skills have improved. There is a part in the book about how to listen, so it was useful to have other words to use to help him to understand what all listening entails.

It is a nice book. Our 5-year-old likes it, mainly because her teacher reads the class the very same book. So she comes home and reads it herself. It teaches a timely lesson about listening. Cute pictures. Children's books are often mediocre at best and a waste of paper at worst. But this was a good buy for the reason that her teacher reads it at Kindergarten, so she identifies with Howard B. Wigglebottom.

I read this with my 4yr old who tends to do as he please until I ask if he wants to be like Howard B Wigglebottom. Lol it works.

Purchased as a gift and it is a very cute well written book for children and nicely illustrated.

This is a cute book but I apparently had higher hopes :) it's about a bunny in which every time he doesn't listen, something 'unfortunate' happens. While it's a good story, not sure my 4yo fully gets the equation. Or she does and she's just playing me. Cure illustrations.

My five-and-a-half year old daughter tends to get easily distracted and does not possess the best listening skills, so after reading some glowing reviews of this book here, I decided to purchase it. I have to say that I was pleased with the contents and my daughter actually learned good listening skills from the story of squirmy bunny, Howard B. Wigglebottom!The story unfolds in a series of humorous illustrations depicting the distracted Howard, who can't seem to focus on one thing at a time and is always distracted. His antics earn him the displeasure of his teacher, and cause his friends to become annoyed and frustrated. When Howard finds himself all alone, he comes to the realization that he needs to change. When my daughter read the part where Howard is feeling sorry for himself, she became very concerned for Howard, and after we came to the end of the story, she told me, "Mom, Howard learned to listen. So can I!" This book has since become a frequently requested book at bedtime, and my daughter even told me that she thinks reading this book over and over will be good for her listening skills:) It is an engaging book, and the illustrations go a long way to showing young children how important it is to be respectful of others, pay attention, and listen when needed. Highly recommended!

My students loved the video of this book, when I happened to find it on YouTube! I had to have the book, too! It is perfect for a social skills lesson! 💕

The story is one a 7 year old can relate to and easily understand. Great follow up questions to assure understanding reaffirm message.

Really great book that opens up opportunity for discussions :)

Useful parenting but fun book for kids to understand why they should listen & what happens if they dont

This is a favourite for teaching young students listening skills.

My toddler son loves this book! He keeps asking us to read it and he seems to have developed better 'listening skills' as a result!

Love the messages in Howard B Wigglebottom books!! My boys love all books in this series
