Today I am posting about a book on manners.
It is a book with cute illustrations and a penguin hostess in a bow tie.
Please Say Please!
by Margery Cuyler
Illustrated by Will Hillenbrand
Scholastic 2004
Preschool - Grade 2
Theme: Manners
This would be a great read aloud book.
First Lines: When friends are invited to Penguin's house for dinner, they should barge right in without knocking. LET'S EAT! Is that right?
synopsis: Learning Good Manners Can be Fun! Penguin's Guide to Manners. Hippo, chimpanzee, rhino, giraffe, parrot, pig, lion, elephant and bear come to eat at Penguin's house. They do everything wrong and the text asks, Is that right? On the next page, the text tells them, No, that's wrong, and tells them what they should do.
Why I like this book: This book shows a fun and un-preachy way of teaching kids good manners.

When my children were little there was a local cartoon show. At the end he would always ask what the three magic words were. The answer shouted back by the kids were: "Please, Thank You and You're welcome!"
