This funny and fun loving guide to misbehaving properly is perfect for introducing kids to manners. Topics include: "How to Play with your Food," "Family Trips and Riding in the Car," and many more. Kids get the ideas and enlightened adults will see right through them to the warm-hearted sense underneath.
K-Gr 4-This new edition of an old favorite (Rainbow Morning Music, 1986), now with new full-page, full-color illustrations, is as irreverent and irrepressibly funny as ever. Children will laugh because they can recognize themselves and their thoughts in the true-life situations from how to eat at the table to how to pick your nose in public. Adults will smile and hopefully remember what it was like to be a child. And perhaps all readers will learn not to take themselves too seriously.-Pamela K.
