Use this book to teach manners and help kids understand the importance of showing politeness, speaking kindly, using basic courtesies (“please,” “thank you,” “excuse me”), and respecting the feelings of others.
Includes scenarios and role-play activities to help adults reinforce the book’s lessons.
