Bad table manners are hard to stomach. I am the Table, and lately I've
been seeing a lot that I just don't like.
Some kids (and a few adults, too!) forget to wash their sticky, gooey,
germy hands. EEEWWWW! Others chew with their mouths wide open,
letting bits of food fly. Their spit lands on everything... even on my
shapely legs. HOW GROSS! And then some people are glued to their
cell phones and video games. HOW RUDE! And why is there so much
screeching, reaching, shoving and belching -yes belching- around me?
Won't you please help me make it all stop?
Award-winning author Julia Cook serves up a satisfying message about the
importance of using good manners at the table. Funny rhymes and colorful
illustrations help young readers (and older ones, too!) learn the skills
they need to know the next time they sit for a meal.
