Manners at the Table (Way to Be!) Reviews

  This was a great book to read with my 4-year-old. The illustrations are cute and there are opportunities to talk about manners.
  
  Each page gives an example of someone doing something and ends with a sentence that reinforces that they used good manners.
  
  Example: "Lucy washes her hands with soap before she comes to the table. She is using good manners."
  
  It talks about:
  Napkin in lap and staying seated for the meal.
  Taking small bites of food.
  Chewing with your mouth closed.
  Sipping slowly instead of gulping your drink.
  Saying "Please" and "Thank You".
  Taste everything on your plate.
  Wipe your mouth with a napkin, not shirt.
  Ask to be excused when you are through.
  
  At the end there are 6 "Fun Facts" about different countries.
  Example: "In Vietnam, making loud noises, such as slurping your soup from the bowl, shows you like your meal."

  Fun picture book to teach younger children manners. In our library last week I had K-2 practicing their manners as we went along (pretending they were at a Thanksgiving feast with their friends or family). I had them all do a double thumbs up and read along with the book when it said "good manners" at the end of every page.
  
  Fun activity, perfect time to read it to littles.

  This one actually managed to be self-righteous and snooty. Wow, what an accomplishment.

  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).
