This is a nice, straightforward book that does a good job of explaining basic manners to the very youngest of children in as simple a way as possible. The examples of when to say Please or Thank you or I'm Sorry are demonstrated clearly, and I'm sure that this book could be an excellent starter tool in teaching preschoolers (and perhaps even kids slightly older than that) how to deal with others as they move out a bit further into the world and begin interacting socially without their parents r...more
Thus far, I've found Karen Katz books cute. This lift the flap book wasn't quite as good as some of her other work. The flaps were a little boring since they were all the size of the page and all lifted up. I also didn't like how there was no inlet to help the child lift the page and figure out what direction it went in. The manners in the book were all good lessons, so I had no problems there. Well, except maybe the last one. Saying "good night, I love you" really isn't a manner...more
I love the bright eye-catching illustrations and true to life situations presented to demonstrate the use of those thoughtful and meaningful words like "Excuse me". Having lift-flaps to engage your child further makes this book a truly interactive educational experience to help learn simple yet important lessons.

A lift-the-flap book that teaches manners. I plan to use it in my classes for English learners.
Simple, easy to understand, clear examples provide an early lesson in manners.
Great at reinforcing manners and polite things to say.
If you're looking for a book to help your child learn polite behaviors, try Karen Katz's "Excuse me! A little book of manners." Except for the comment that peas are not a breakfast food, it's does a good job of teaching kids what to do in various situations without being preachy. (My daughter likes to eat peas for breakfast and why would I want to argue with a desire to eat veggies at _any_ time of day?)
I found this really encouraged my little one, when she was just over three, to use better manners, and she loved to lift the flaps.
This book cover all sorts of polite answers. This is a lift-the-flap book with full page flaps - not my favorite, but OK.
One of Arley's favorites. He likes to "read" it along with me. It's a lot of fun.
