Description
I Want, so I Ask showcases a day in the life of twin brothers, CJ and DJ. Instead of screaming and throwing tantrums for things they want, CJ and DJ have learned to ask nicely for the things they want.
Starting with morning hugs from their parents, any food items they want to eat throughout the day, and even for their friends’ toys they want to play with, first CJ and DJ would calmly ask, “Can I please . . .” and end it with a “Thank you.”
These starter phrases help the twins communicate to their loving parents in a manner that is calm and respectful.
★★★★★"This is an easy-to-read and well-illustrated book that is perfect for adults to read to their children. It celebrates the joy of living together as a family, gently instructing the little ones that practicing good manners makes life more fun."—Tony Cruz

A delightful children's book that captures the hearts of both children and parents alike. Through its endearing characters, CJ and DJ, this beautifully illustrated book teaches young readers the importance of expressing their desires in a polite and respectful manner.
