A great voice for kids. See my review.

Young Emilie Marie (who appears to be about 10 and has just spent time with her Aunt Evelyn) discusses manners. A nice approach and covers all the basics from meeting and greeting to parties and thank you notes.

In rhyme, the dinosaurs eat first obnoxiously, spitting broccoli, bubbling milk, and then there's a turnabout. Colorful illustrations of a variety of dinosaurs.

Amusing. Mary Louise goes looking for her manners "which have a big head for remembering all the rules. . . ." Ending could be better. Great illustrations.

A nicely designed book all about the best way to ask for something.

Another all-purpose guide, formal in tone.

One of the best all-purpose guides I've found. Covers every topic. See my review.

I loved Miss Manners' comment (somewhere) that good manners don't necessarily make others comfortable; they can also make them uncomfortable. The raised eyebrow, for instance. Parents would do well to read this book.

A collection of stories and poems, many by well known authors (e.g. Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jack Prelutsky) with short commentary describing the "lesson" the child can learn. Section themes include "Good Manners at Home," "Using Words Wisely," "Table Manners," among others.

A good all-purpose guide with many personal anecdotes.
