From School Library Journal
PreS?A humorous look at manners that's sure to appeal to preschoolers. The book opens as the Little Princess screams, "I want my dinner!" The picture of her red-faced temper tantrum, complete with silverware flying through the air, shows more than the text reveals. Next, she demands her potty (while squeezing toothpaste all over the cat). Finally, she remembers to say the magic word when she requests her teddy bear. Then, on a walk, she encounters a big, red-nosed blue Beastie. He pitches a fit about wanting his dinner, and the Little Princess tells him to say please. The smiling, yellow-crowned child reminds him to say thank you, too. The simple text combined with exuberant, colorful watercolors show Ross at his best. Any child who has been reminded to be courteous will appreciate the cheerful, comical illustrations.?Janet M. Bair, Trumbull Library, CT

Customer Reviews

short and to the point
I was pleased by the response my 3.5 year old son had after reading this book. He definitely got the point that being polite counts and it isn't so hard to say please and thank you!

Teaches manners to your "Little Princess"
My daughter constantly requests this book-much to my amusement. It is basically a lesson in please and thank you( a CONSTANT battle in our house)The illustrations are great-somewhat reminiscent of Sendak. Hey-what can it hurt??
