Love everything about this book. Simple drawings and concepts in rhyme - all the wonderful lessons I want to teach my sons with the hope they will grow up to be respectful young men. Highly recommend!

This book is so heartwarming. I loved reading it to my 4-month old daughter today. Such a great message in such a sweet book.

Engaging rhyming text about equality and intention, paired with bright, simple, high contrast illustrations. Good for reading to babies, and up through toddlers and older. Iambic pentameter lends a lightness to text that could be seen as too heavy, but here reads empowering and sweet.

Nice rhyme. Pictures are nice to look at. Some of the pages are fantastic, while others are kind of "throw aways". Not really a "story" as much as different examples of respect.

This book was
1. Absolutely adorable
2. THE BEST THING TO EXIST FOR YOUNG BOYS EVER.

I'm very happy that this book exists and I hope it's read by more than just me. Teaching equal rights starts with the small, and it should include this book.

Not the worst feminist board book that there is but I do question why it is specifically for boys or indeed why it isn’t just called nice things that normal human beings do.

Despite its rather silly title, this book was a great, simple book reinforcing the different skills of the DC superheroines and, by association, women themselves. I thought it was great that the text focused on such great qualities as bravery, intelligence, and teamwork - qualities even a young girl can pursue. I am pleased to have purchased this book for my infant daughter and look forward to reading it with her often.
