Review
This adorable and hilarious book about manners is useful for teaching proper behavior while entertaining. Children can laugh at children juggling pickles, pigs starting food fights, and birds picking their toenails, while adults reinforce the lessons behind them. However, this book does feature some gross humor, such as urinating in the pool, picking a wedgie, and a plumber bending with his pants falling down. Overall, this book gets the message across while being goofy. Recommended. Brenna Christiansen, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University
