The Do’s and Don’ts

by Haley Rose

Children’s Manners

Book Description

The Do’s and Don’ts is a whimsical lesson book aimed at teaching young readers the difference between good and bad behavior/etiquette. In the book Zack and Chloe go from being manner monsters to well-behaved children as they provide samples of typical scenarios that not only young children encounter but can relate to. For example, Zack becomes a Manner Monster when he loses a game, kicking and pouting like a poor sport. In contract, good behavior is then modeled depicting Zack congratulating the winning team. Unlike other etiquette books for children that tell a story or just communicate positive behavior, The Do’s and Don’ts compares and contrasts between good and bad behavior. Simply, yet colorfully displayed, are examples of inappropriate behavior and decisions young children may display followed by behavior and decisions that are more socially accepted. Each compare and contrast anecdote is set in the same scene so that young readers can instantly see the differences between good and poor behavior.

MY THOUGHTS:

5 OUT OF 5 FLEURS DE LIS

The Do’s and Don’ts by Hayley Rose

This is a cute book that does a really great job of teaching kids manners. The illustrations show that you are a “Manner Monster” when you are doing the “don’ts” and why that is a bad thing. The language is very straightforward, and there’s not too much text per page, so your child’s attention doesn’t wander.

My 5 year old absolutely loved this book, which I am very glad of, because he is very often a “Manner Monster”. We’ve read it so many times now, it’s like he’s reading it to me! I’m glad that this book was able to teach him manners in a way he could easily understand…and which I am sure he likes better than his mom and dad scolding him.
