[ 책 소개 ]

"Flora and the Flamingo"로 Caldecott상을 받은 몰리 아이들의 또 하나의 베스트셀러 대표작입니다.

사람은 사람을 절대로 물지 않습니다.
당근, 고기, 비스킷, 자두는 한 입 크게 물어도 되지만, 여동생이나 형을 물어서는 안됩니다. 그들은 케익이나 껌이 아니니까요.

친구는 절대로 다른 친구를 물지 않습니다.개나 말 같은 ㄷ오물들은 때로는 사람을 물 수도 있지만, 사람은 동물이 아니기 때문에 절대로 친구를 물어서는 안됩니다. 친구랑 때로는 싸울 수도 있지만, 물고 싶어도 입술을 깨물고 꾹 참아야 합니다.

자신의 아랫입술, 머리카락, 혓바닥, 손톱을 무는 것도 보기에 역겨운데, 사람을 무는 것은 정말 최악이지요....

만화풍의 그림과 간결한 문장, 그리고 코믹한 그림을 이용해서 왜 사람이 사람을 물어서는 안되는지를 재미있고 뇌리에 쏙쏙 들어오게 보여줍니다.

Book Description
Lisa Wheeler and Caldecott Honor–winning illustrator Molly Idle remind overeager little biters that biting is for food in this hysterical read-aloud picture book. Learning good behavior has never been so fun!

It’s good to bite a carrot.
It’s good to bite a steak.
It’s bad to bite your sister!
She’s not a piece of cake.

Cause…
People don’t bite people!
That’s what this book’s about.
So if you find
you’re tooth-inclined—
you’d better check it out!



Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
"In a combination of listicle, admonishment, and pep talk, the well-matched Wheeler (Babies Can Sleep Anywhere) and Idle (the Flora books) remind children that they are too long in the tooth, so to speak, to be chomping on others.... Wheeler’s four-line stanzas deploy repetition and rhythm for maximum percussive punch.... Idle’s pert, radiant pictures alternate between neatly divided worksheet-style grids (which correspond to the bitable and nonbitable items and people mentioned in the verse) and blithe vignettes.... The aesthetic is reminiscent of 1960s educational films, with every character exuding comic, pedagogical earnestness. Whether readers are biters, bite-ees, or witnesses to a biting incident, they’ll find this a toothsome treat."


Booklist *Starred Review*
"Paired with a neatly drawn cast of doll-like animals and human figures in Caldecott Honoree Idle’s spacious, harmoniously hued illustrations, Wheeler’s infectiously exclamatory rhymes present her anti-biting message with lighthearted but compelling persistence . . . A chewy theme for children with biting issues, and a rollicking readaloud for all."


School Library Journal
This instructional book about biting goes above and beyond a basic lesson with its cheeky rhymes and bright, over-the-top illustrations. Wheeler writes in precise rhythmic rhyming verse, informing readers what things are good and bad to bite, in a style reminiscent of Jane Yolen's "Dinosaurs" series. The refrain features the titular "People don't bite people" and always ends with "biting is for food." The suggestions appeal to common sense, reminding children that they are not wild animals, and giving the characters the opportunity to right their behavior, by politely chewing a piece of pizza rather than gnawing on their mother, for example. Caldecott honoree Idle's wide-eyed, retro children jump off the page with ultra bright pastels done in Prismacolor pencils and expressions as sweet as the foods that adorn the cover page. Adults and children alike will appreciate the humor in both the text and illustrations, an element which is often missing in didactic works, from the up-close views of teeth and tongues on the endpapers, to the twist ending featuring gingerbread people (the one exception to the title's rule). VERDICT This book is sure to elicit giggles from group read-alouds or one-on-one sharing. Add to any collection in need of a wildly entertaining title that addresses a common childhood issue.


The New York Times Book Review
"In People Don't Bite People...that Class-A preschool felony is faced head-on with the snappy verve of a 1950s tooth-paste jingle: "It's good to bite a carrot. It's good to bite a steak. It's bad to bite your sister! She's not a piece of cake." The drawings are bright and no-nonsense, quickly removing, like ripping off a Band-Aid, the stigma of biting. The message is outlined and repeated in tick-tack-toe squares with plenty of illustrations and humor, straight-forward, with a hint of Mary Poppins's intolerance for nonsense."
