Looking for a fun way to help your children learn table manners? The characters on the placemats in "Tabletop Tipsters" make it easy.Your children will love learning how to act at the table by seeing what Bailey Puppydog, Sammy Gator, Katie Doll, Danny and Teddy Birthday Bear do -- before, during and after meals. "Tabletop Tipsters" is also a perfect book for children and parents to read together -- because every now and then, we parents might need a little reminder about our own table manners, too!
I really like the idea behind this book. The illustrations are bright and cheerful and the book is lyrically written for children to enjoy, and not only once but over and over again. However, I think this book has the potential to be a great children's book if the illustrations were more varied. Each character has its one illustration. I'd rather have seen the character in the act of the author's words. The words provide for some great and silly illustrations that definitely would enhance the book.
