About This Book

When you're sitting at the table and there's something that you want, like a napkin or more jam or one more croissant, remember to say PLEASE and THANK YOU. Learning to be polite and use good manners is an important part of growing up. Your little one will love seeing how sweet animal characters use good manners in different scenarios, from basics like saying "I'm sorry" and "excuse me," to sharing with friends, and using good listening ears when someone else is talking. Peek-a-boo holes and big

Our Review

This charming board book offers a gentle and engaging introduction to the fundamentals of polite behavior for the youngest readers. Through a series of relatable scenarios featuring sweet animal characters, children see concrete examples of using "please" and "thank you," sharing with friends, and practicing good listening skills. The interactive peek-a-boo holes and large, inviting illustrations will capture a toddler's attention, making the lessons about kindness and consideration feel like play rather than instruction. This early social skills book transforms abstract concepts of good manners into visible, achievable actions.

What sets this apart from other etiquette books for toddlers is its focus on specific, everyday situations that little ones actually encounter, from the dinner table to playtime with peers. The animal characters model positive behavior without being preachy, allowing children to absorb the importance of polite words and actions through observation. Parents seeking to nurture empathy and social awareness will find this an invaluable tool for starting conversations about respect and kindness. It’s the kind of book that plants seeds for gracious living, one "please" at a time.
