Book summary: This book is a guide to letter writing, email etiquette, and everyday manners such as good manners, the magic words, table manners, being respectful, introductions, being a good host, party manners, being a good sport, and out and about. A great guide of what not to do and what to do on how to act.
Grade level: K-5
Appropriate classroom use: This book discusses important manners that every kid needs to know when making everyday decisions. Kids can use this book and act out or model different scenarios and recognize the right way to do things. They can write a model letter and answer questions in quiz form or in a different way to see what the kids have learned. There could be a manners tree built in the class reflecting what we learned having words on it such as please or thank you.
Indv. students who benefit: Students who can use some manners. We all can.
Small group use: Students will be in small groups discussing different scenarios and take turns reading the book. There are a lot of words on each page so they can take their time.
Whole class use: I would love to read this book aloud to the class. This would be a good carpet read.
Related books: Other books by the author Lynne Gibbs.
Multimedia connections available: The hardcover.

Great information about how to have good manners.
There is a lot of text, but it is broken up into smaller groups on each page so if you are reading this to children with short attention spans you could read a few sections at a time.

This book is not your ordinary read aloud book because it has a lot of words. However, it can be read by section. Each section is introduced by a different topic and color of page.

Great book. Like how it is broken up so we can read different parts at a time and talk about each one. Not obnoxious like some manners books yet gets the point across.
