Manners - by Aliki (Paperback)

About the Book

Manners are about feelings. Good manners make kids nice and make others want to be with them. At the dinner table or a birthday party--or even building a sand castle at the beach--manners matter. Full color. (Baby/Preschool)

Book Synopsis

"Manners are words and actions that show others you care," best-selling author Aliki tells young readers in this classic etiquette primer.

Aliki uses a child-friendly cartoon style to teach politeness, appropriate behavior, and courtesy. Short, funny comics explain why it is important to put the needs of others before your own--and how to do that!

Complete with ideas for role-playing situations that build social skills, Manners is a handy guide for every home and every classroom.
