Reviews

[Janice Redding]

This is a good addition for the classroom library. I say this because it is a book about manners, and how boys should act in different environment, such as school, and at home. It also talks about how boys should be good sports, and how to eat, and talk to people, etc. This book would cater to any grade, but the teacher may modify upon discretion.

A wonderful book for boys aged 6-11. My son resisted the notion that he needed reminders on manners, but each time I asked him if I could read a page or two, he didn't hesitate - he quietly soaked up all of the authors sage advice. I plan to buy a copy!

This a cute little book that many parents should read with their little boys as they grow up. The habits in this book are still applicable even well into their old age. Its a quick little read and fun.

For 10¢ at the local thrift store I was curious just how Emily Post would be boiled down for the "puppy dog's tails" set. This book was quick and light hearted and certainly worth the 10¢. And perhaps the 10 minutes reading it.

Liked the "Coaches Corner" with helpful tips and reminders.
