4.0
Fourteen picture book creators take on manners in this mash up of talent. Each illustrator is given a double page spread to fill with their work as well as some advice on how to mind their manners. There is a specific setting in each one, including school, birthday party, table manners, and the supermarket. All of the illustrators approach manners with a light touch and plenty of humor, meaning that this is one manners book that children will actually enjoy!
One of the pleasures of the book is turning the page and discovering an entirely different style from a new illustrator. The book includes illustrators like Bob Shea, Tedd Arnold, Lynn Munsinger, Sophie Blackall, and Adam Rex. It keeps the book very fresh, as each illustrator works in their distinct and unique style. The lists of manner rules are very silly, especially when they deal with the ultimate manner rule of no picking!
Manner books at libraries tend to come in sets of books and trend toward the preachy. This is a fresh, funny look at manners that puts those to shame. Make room on your library shelf for this one! Appropriate for ages 5-8.
