Penguin learns to say please in different situations throughout this sturdy board book. With simple text and vibrant photos this is an excellent way to start teaching manners.
Hello Genius, a new series of board books, offers bold graphic illustrations and one manners word or phrase at a time. Titles include Mouse Says "Sorry," Hippo Says "Excuse Me," and Bear Says "Thank You." In Penguin Says "Please," Penguin starts out being bratty, demanding things without saying the magic word. By the end he learns how to ask politely and is rewarded with the things he requests. It's a simple lesson that's useful to learn as early as possible.-- "Horn Book Magazine, "What Makes a Good Manners Book""
For the youngest children, try the Hello Genius series published by Picture Window Books. Books such as Penguin Says Please are perfect for even toddlers (although we all know some adults who could benefit from these books, too).-- "Philly.com"
