Customer Reviews

My client's on the spectrum

Where does honesty ends and rude begins ? This book will make that clear for kids. I love the laugh and learn books for making social skills so simple. They even include some "what if's" I have never thought to teach my clients.

A helpfully educational book

This book teaches ages 10-12 manners skills.

Awesome book!

My 10-year-old picked this up and started reading it on his own. This is an awesome book for any parent trying to help their child learn the basics of polite living.

Gets attention

I used this little book with my four grandkids ages 11, 10, 9 and 8. They enjoyed it and even used some of the practices in front of me! It is written in kid style, but pulls no punches. Just what this grandmother was looking for.

Really Funny!

I have two boys, ages 10 & 12, and they got a real kick out of this book. I did too! It is a good overview of manners of all kinds, but in a humorous setting. I would recommend it to anyone with kids who need a "brush up" on manners. Very well written.

Comprehensive and hilarious

This book was perfect for my 9-year-old, who really enjoyed the funny sections but also learned a lot from the informative text. It covers everything - from cell phones to dinner table manners to even "fartiquette" - and has full-color art as well so it was fun shared reading. An excellent resource for easing kids' fears about social situations and for promoting mannered behavior in today's kids.
