Oops, Sorry: A First Book of Manners

by Richard Morgan

Here's a bright, cheerfully illustrated little story with a quiz for toddlers. Here's one of its questions! "If someone gives you something nice, what do you say?" The answer appears on the opposite page: "Thank you!" That something nice is a gift, because this book's little boy is having a birthday party! Here's another of the questions: "If you make a naughty noise, what do you say?" The answer, of course, is, "Pardon!" Toddlers won't be able to resist chanting along the answers, as Mom or Dad reads this delightful little story to them, over and over again. They'll also love the vivid color illustrations on every page. (Ages 2-5)

A good reminder (with awkward balloons).

Absolutely love, very cute illustration, and easy to read. It's a great way to teach kids manners from a young age.
