Sometimes good people do bad things, but there is never any excuse for having bad manners; and having bad manners is not a good thing. You should never spit at another person or throw things at them or yell at them for no reason. This is bad manners.

Written by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, this 'learn to read' book is meant to get a kid thinking as he or she practices reading skills through word repetition, word repetition and rhyme.

Visit some fun and familiar Penelope Dyan characters and see what these characters think about how a kid should conduct himself or herself. And please don't forget the elephant does know what good manners are, and the monkey is seldom wrong!

Most of all, have fun learning, because learning should always be fun! When you are done reading, go to the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel and watch the free music video that goes with this book for even more learning fun
