A Word from the Author
"This book has been used by public school and home schooling teachers. The illustrations are very attractive and add a light flair to the subject. Children sometimes won't listen to Mom, but they will if it's in a book form. Believe me—most children need a book on basic manners."
—Emilie Barnes, Author of A Little Book of Manners
Editorial Reviews
"This fully illustrated picture book is a delightful (and not too prissy) 'how to' book of etiquette and manners for young girls (and some of us older girls, too!) It's written in a kid-friendly way. Some areas covered: meeting and greeting people; telephone manners; how to treat a guest and how to be a good guest; mealtime manners; and writing thank you cards. The illustrations are gorgeous; the book is expensively produced; and it's something that would make a great gift for a kid...or would be right at home in the collection of 'young-at-heart' old timers like us!"
