Product Description
If we want something
we
say
PLEASE
We say THANK YOU
if you help us or
give us something or
do things for us.
Before we leave the table
we ask if
we
may
be
excused.
And say THANK YOU
if we are told we may.
Continuing the success of How to Behave and Why-with hundreds of thousands of copies sold, 50,000 in the last year and a half alone!-comes another gem from the trove of Munro Leaf.
Considered his second most popular book, Manners Can Be Fun was first published in 1936 and is among Munro Leaf's acclaimed "Fun" series, which includes Grammar, Reading, and History. In his signature style of stick-figure illustrations and wholesome text, this charming guide, in which courtesy does not have to be a chore or a response to scolding, makes manners a delight to learn. With such characters as the Mefirsts and the Whineys, children can laugh while absorbing the elementary rules of thoughtfulness and etiquette. To listen, cooperate, act graciously, and share, among others, are invaluable lessons that should never be underestimated, and that help make happy, well-adjusted, and secure children who will one day grow up to be happy, well-adjusted, and secure adults.

Manners CAN be fun (and funny!) August 2, 2004

Oh, how I have missed this book. My grandmother passed my mother's edition on to me when I was little, and its illustrations and funny stories have stayed with me all this time. I was heartbroken when I lost it, but as I didn't know the title or the author, I wasn't able to find it anywhere. This reprint has made me SO happy!
 loved it but something is missing December 26, 2004

I was so happy to see this book back in publication. I remember it VERY well, but when I bought my new copy for my kids, there seems to be a page or two missing!!! Something happened to The Burpers, The Coughers and the Sneezers!!! The pages that said "Be Kind to Animals, They Have Feelings,Too" was in the middle of the book instead of at teh end, and there were pages at the end to put notes of "my own manners" and I don't remember those pages ever being there before.
I miss the Burpers, etc. I should notify the publisher, too.
But still, this book is wonderful.
I Wish I Could Find this Book! July 23, 2000

I remembers this book as a child, when my mother bought it for me at the Book Fair. At the time, I didn't like it, for I didn't appreciate the funny cartoons and splendid way of managing manners and being nice, but now that I have a scroungy little 6 yr. old, I wish I could find it and give it to my son, I think he'd think it was hilarious, which it is. If you find this book, grab it!
The only antidote to psychobabble April 19, 1999

Lost in a sea of new-age mumblings, half-congealed PC semi-truths and "value-neutral" nonsense? Then, if you never do anything else for your kids, find a copy of this and Leaf's other gems and use them as often as you use the TV's remote control. They're full of the no-nonsense, boiled down "rules to live by" that so well defined the simpler ages gone by. To agree with another reviewer, this and the others probably would be banned today. But, when you consider who it is that bans books along with what's acceptable and what isn't by today's standards, it might be time to resurrect ol' Munro and let him have another go at our kids. Until somebody with the wisdom and resource to do that comes along and does, a well-used copy suits me just fine, thank you.
Excellent and poignant look at how kids can learn manners. August 22, 1999

Mr. Leaf's book was one of the cornerstones of our household, and my brother and I were constantly instructed to "sit down and read the manner's book." This book is very easy for children to comprehend, and it is an excelent way for parents to get their kids to a more "civil" state. I still love this book!
