Customer Reviews

A Classic with Legs

I was surprised when my 7 year old pulled What Do You Say, Dear out of a pile of my childhood books. I was more surprised when it turned out both my 4 and 7 year olds loved it. Now both these books are weekly reads. The best part? The messages actually stick with them!

Child's Etiquette Book

Saw What Do You Say, Dear? on Sesame Street @1973, got it, my daughters grew up with it. Then when What Do You Do, Dear? came out, I got that and my daughters grew up with it. Now my each of my grandchildren, ages 2-17, has his/her own set. They make terrific gifts. They teach with gentle amusement and humor but definitely. And it is fun for the parent or reader, as well.

A should do book

A fun way to remind children about manners. Just a quick review!

My Favorite Part

The tight-rope was the funniest part of the book. What do you do when you see a lady walking on a tight-rope? You step aside and let the lady pass whoooooooaaaaah! This is a verrrrrrry funny book.
