About the book
Harrison P. Spader, a loveable and avid lover of life, has one problem... he wants to share his love with everyone around him. He wants his whole world to experience that feeling of love and his exuberance up-close and personal.
"Harrison P. Spader sits a little too close.
Shakes hands a little too long.
High-fives a little too hard.
And hugs a little too much.
HARRISON P. SPADER IS A PERSONAL SPACE INVADER."
Unfortunately his friends don't share his enthusiasm. He makes them feel very uncomfortable when he invades their personal space and they want Harrison P. Spader to knock it off. After countless phone calls from teachers, coaches, and other parents his dad finally steps up to the plate to discuss the issue with his son.
His wise dad teaches him a life lesson that will totally change Harrison P. Spader's life for the better. Dad teaches his son the Space Saver technique.
"Arms out front
then out real wide.
Now place your arms
back at your sides."
Will this simple rhyme of self-awareness work for Harrison P. Spader and help him become a better friend and benefit him as he grows up and becomes a more responsible citizen?
The illustrations are delightful. Harrison P. Spader is an adorable main character and the illustrations add humour and emotions that will have kids giggling as they engage in the text. This entertaining picture book tackles the importance of personal space-a topic close to the heart of kids and grownups alike. I highly recommend this book.
