To him, good attention, bad attention, it’s all attention, and he loves attention.

This star of this book was Peter a young monkey. He would do things like burp, pick his nose etc and not use his manners. He didn’t say please or thank you and was indifferent to the feelings of those around him. Nothing his parents or sister said to him made a difference in his attitude.
One day at dinner time, his family decided to teach him a lesson. They began doing all those gross and annoying habits that Peter did. Peter was stunned. He didn’t realize how gross his behavior was and he seem...more

“Once there was a boy named Pete who had terrible, awful, horrible manners.”
Pete is horribly rude. He’s loud, unclean and forgets to say please and thank you. His poor manners got him attention and made him laugh until one day his family decided to act like Pete. It didn’t take long for Pete to start reminding them of their manners.
This is a cute book and would be loved by most boys. Pete is loud and likes body noises which would appeal to the male persuasion. Some girls might enjoy Pete but the...more

This story is aimed at 4-6 year olds, and since I have a 4 year old and a six year old I thought that it was the perfect story to read to them! In the book our main character, a monkey, is rude. He burps, he toots, he doesn't say "please" or "thank-you". My boys enjoyed how the story was resolved, and they enjoyed the cute pictures even though they were in black and white because that's the only option that my eReader has. After the story the boys could easily tell me what had happened and the p...more
I have to admit, I have the sense of humor of a 7 year old boy. I find toilet humor hilarious. That being said, I am also a stickler for manners when it comes to my child. So, If you need a good way to teach your children appropriate manners with a little humor thrown in, this book is great! Full of adorable, bright illustrations, Terrible Awful Horrible Manners has just the right mix of silly and serious. The tooting little monkey will have your little monkeys giggling while teaching them a ser...more
This is a very easy to read and simple story about Peter who has terrible manners and is quite happy about it because he gets extra attention as a result. The book talks about his various poor manners and how he learns to start changing them in the end.
It’s the sort of book your typical 5 or 6 year old boy particularly would enjoy I think, as it includes burping and picking noses and all those other ‘gross’ things that boys do… I’m sure the girls do them too, to be sure, but as I have a houseful...more

This was a very cute book and would be a great teaching book for the younger kids. My daughter and I enjoyed this book. I reviewed it on our Mini Me Corner Reviews on my blog. I think younger kids around the age of 4 or 5 would really enjoy this book and would really get what it is saying about good manners. I loved the pictures in this little book as well! I also enjoyed how non forcebul it was! It didn't push the manners on the kids it teaches them in a very non pushy way!

I must say I was quite disappointed when I read Terrible, Awful, Horrible, Manners. As a school counselor I am always looking for new books to use in lessons with my students. I hoped this would be a good fit for my younger classes (Kindergarten and 1st grade). Unfortunately it's not. It's aimed for a younger group in my opinion. The book's focus is on a side of manners that's often ignored in children's books I have read so that is a positive. There's plenty o...more

I don't know. I like the story, and will definitely share it with my kids. I may even recommend this to parents looking for a silly story on manners. But I'm just not sure I'm brave enough to knowingly bring a book into the school library that talks about but shows nose picking, burping, tooting, you name it. That said, it is a very fun story about manners. Pete the monkey learns very quickly why his parents ask him to say his pleases, thank yous and excuse mes!
Read via @NetGalley through ADE.
I'm not crazy about this one. I guess I can see how they're trying to take a humorous way to make a story come through, but I'd just rather avoid this one. Although manners are sometimes hard to teach to giggle-bots!
