One morning, six young ninjas are dropped off at Dojo Daycare. As soon as their ninja moms and ninja dads have left: KABOOM! KAPOW! The ninja boys and girls kick, push, punch, and quickly turn the place upside down in a full-blown ninja riot. Try as he might, the hapless master can{u2019}t control the children, and the disaster plays out through lunchtime and story time. No one heeds the master{u2019}s repeated mantra of honor, kindness, and respect {u2014} until one little ninja steps up and rallies his ninja pals to undo all that they have done, just in time for pickup.

Dojo Daycare submitted by ejmarcash on August 11, 2016, 3:06pm This is a cute, rhyming book about little ninjas that attend a daycare run by a ninja. My kids enjoyed the story and the illustrations and had fun looking at the pets and teddy bear also dressed as ninjas.

Dojo Daycare submitted by PizzaPuppy on September 21, 2017, 11:25am Dojo Daycare is a hilarious addition to our picture book collection. With its digitally drawn comic style illustrations and rhythmic rhyming, Chris Tougas' first foray into the world of picture books is a pure joyride.

When adult ninjas leave the house, their little ninjas are dropped off at the Dojo Daycare. The Dojo Master tries to instill values of kindness, respect and honor in the young ninjas, but they have other plans. KABOOM! KAPOW! With kids kicking, jumping, and screaming, the Dojo quickly descends into chaos. The Dojo Master attempts to regain control but cannot get through to his little ninjas. But when the little ninjas see that they have saddened the Dojo, they quickly regroup to furiously clean the Dojo and restore peace to the Daycare.

This adorable and funny book puts an emphasis on personal responsibility and respect for your peers. For other interesting and off-beat stories about good manners, try A Quest for Good Manners or Rules of the Wild: An Unruly Book of Manners.
