About the author: Elizabeth Verdick has been writing books since 1997, the year her daughter was born. Her two children, now ages 14 and 10, are the inspiration for nearly everything she writes. Before becoming an author, Elizabeth edited books for children and parents. These days she writes books for toddlers, teens, and every age in between. She especially loves creating new board book series for toddlers—the latest series is Toddler Tools™, which helps young children and their parents cope with those tough times and transitions that happen every day (like naptime and bedtime). The Best Behavior™ series helps toddlers reach new milestones and improve their day-to-day behavior. Elizabeth also enjoys getting the chance to look at the funny side of life in the Laugh and Learn™ series, which helps kids ages 8–13 get a handle on the social/emotional skills they’re developing throughout the elementary– and middle school years. Elizabeth lives with her family and five pets near St. Paul, Minnesota. http://www.freespirit.com/catalog/author_detail.cfm?AUTHOR_ID=39

My Review: On-the-Go Time is a board book for toddlers about good behavior.  Toddlers are always on the go so this book teaches about Get ready, get set and Go. According to the author, “Get ready, get set, go get into coats…out the door …into the car. With On-the-Go Time, shopping and running errands with children really can mean fewer hassles and more fun for everyone!”

This book contains help tips for parents and caregivers to help keep toddlers moving like scheduling appointments in between children’s meals and naps to ensure they are rested and ready to go, making a go-time list that would help the child to look forward to. And before you leave home, give your child a chance to use the bathroom or drink a cup of water and snack to take along and many more.

This is an easy to read book with great illustrations. If you’re searching for a book to teach your toddler about good behavior this is it.
