Great book for 4-6 yr olds

+ Perfect - so evocative and beautiful.
+ Beautiful artwork

This is a great book if you care about not exposing your children to some of the questionable values out there. It is also fun and beautiful.

A Runaway Hit!

+ Really cute
+ Great Book -- highly recommended!

This is our new favorite. My son has wanted to hear this story umpteen times and that is always a sign of a hit. I've had fun with the narrative style in reading it (it lends itself to dramatics and overdone tone), but now my son is trying to steal the show having memorized half the book himself. ...

Great Book

I think this is a cute book with great illustrations. If your child loves polar bears they will love it. Also check out the little polar bear books by Hans de Beer. Author of Hobo Finds A Home

Emily's Everyday Manners1 review
Peggy Post, Cindy Post Senning

Collins, 2006

Good, but not recommended for young children!

This is a very good etiquette book although I feel it is unsuitable for my three year old daughter. It has little points (although excellent) written all over the pages, which is too confusing for a young child. This book would certainly be excellent for an older child who could read it for ...

Charlesbridge Publishing, 2007

My Friend Aggie

+ Full of Clever Twists & Boy Appeal
+ Good Girl

There's a discussion on the Amazon boards about that age when kids feel they're beyond picture books, but may not feel ready for chapter books. It's pretty much of a moot point, because there are lots books with pictures AND short easy-to read chapters ("Henry and Mudge," "George and Martha"). ...

Munro Leaf

Universe, 2005

Munro Leaf makes manners fun for kids and adults

+ Speaking Politely
+ Music to my ears

This book is needed as much now as it ever was. Entertaining, but crammed with the polite manners we all need and want others (especially our children) to have. I remembered this book from my childhood, and as an adult, it did not disappoint. All of the "manner" books by Munro Leaf are ...
