This book was cute for students learning about etiquette. It is a beginning level book for students trying to understand where to put a napkin and other etiquette requirements. It is humorous book by using animals as examples.
This book didn't do much for me, but my children loved it. Again and again and again! They liked the hidden answers in the pictures, even when they had them memorized.
This is an interactive picture book that features multiple choice questions relating to manners and kindness. It asks a question and the reader chooses the answer with the appropriate behavior or response to it. The reader then searches for the hidden letter answer somewhere in the illustration!
