Ex-libris Rebecca Schaffner ( )

I picked this book because I think it is very important for students to have good manners at school. Some children do not learn manners at home. I want my class to have manners and if they have not learned them at home I want to teach them in my classroom. This would be a wonderful book to read at the beginning of the year.

Munro Leaf's stick figures tell us how we should behave and who we should not behave like: PIGS, WHINYS, ME FIRST, SMASH, RIP, RUIN, BRAGGER, SHOW-OFF, WON'T TRY, SULKY, WON'T WASH, BATHROOM WRECKER, SNOOPERS, TOUCHY, etc. ( )

This was a childhood favorite of mine. I used to collect the cartoon that Munro Leaf had in one of the Ladies magazines. ( )
