Margaret Wise Brown's Manners (Little Golden Book)
by Margaret Wise Brown (Author), Nicola Slater (Illustrator)
Hardcover 24 Pages - Publisher: Golden Books 2017

From the author of Goodnight Moon: a never-before-published story
    Synopsis: In this witty book by Margaret Wise Brown, adorable animal characters show how good manners can open up the world to a child. Simple text uses opposites to illustrate a good way and a not-so-good way to wait in line, eat at the table, behave at a party, and treat an animal. Even the youngest children will quickly understand the message, brought to them in a gentle and amusing way. By the author of Goodnight Moon—who knew a thing or two about how to reach and teach young readers. - Amazon


**Note: The criminally underread Mister Dog: The Dog Who Belonged to Himself is about a dog and a boy's mastery of their own lives — It's also got a nice recipe for bone broth in it.
