Manners

Mehr zum Buch

The wonderful Aliki Brandenberg has written and illustrated more children's books than many kids have read. This time she brings us a paperback version of her 1990 hardcover Manners, a cheery, funny dissertation on how and, more important, why to be a polite child. A combination of hilarious, colorful illustrations, comic-bookish playlets such as "You Are Interrupting Again Leon," some of what a grown up might call role-playing, and miscellaneous other gems, the book adds up to the best child's handbook on manners since the Goops showed up at the end of the 19th century.
