About The Book

Please, don’t carry germs with you to your seat.
Wash your hands before you come to eat.

Grabbing and poking are quite rude.
Use the word “please” when you ask for food.


And so the rhyme goes as kids learn table manners with hilarious pigs, chickens, cows, puppies, and even a mouse! As the flaps open, the animals find out that learning table manners is a whole lot of fun! At the end of the book, kids can use the pull-out chart and 42 gold star stickers to keep track of their own table manners.
