  MORE CHILDREN SHOULD READ THIS.

  This was the perfect book to teach my 4-year-old good manners. It gives different examples of children using their manners. The illustrations are cute.
  
  Example:
  "Calvin says, 'Good morning, Mr Jeffers!' when he gets on the school bus.
  He says, 'Have a good night, Mr Jeffers. Thank you!'
  When he gets off the bus at the end of the day.
  He is using good manners."
  
  The other examples are:
  bumping into someone at a store
  returning a lost toy to the owner
  walking on the sidewalk instead of through someone's yard
  throwing garbage in the trash can when outside
  saying "Thank You" to a waiter
  waiting in line to buy a movie ticket
  talking quietly in a museum
  not arguing if your mom tells you "no"
  
  
  At the end of the book, the author gave some fun facts about other countries. For example, in China, people with good manners do not point when speaking or in Saudi Arabia it is rude to eat with your left hand.

  Works well with Stoo Hampel's Book of Bad Manners to show the polite things to do. Easy enough read that I think my new reader could handle it.

  Beyond the Pages with Eva K

  This book offered many wonderful, kid-friendly examples. The illustrations were colorful and engaging.

  Cute pictures and my students loved the series. They even practiced! Unfortunately, my ex's child didn't grasp the concept (which is why I am now single).
