Overview

"This guide to proper behavior at the dinner table provides an introduction to etiquette for kids and a refresher in manners for adults. Offering three tips for each letter of the alphabet, kids are asked to examine the factors that contribute to proper form. Guides Polly Politely and Milton Manners introduce kids to the correct way of handling situations such as choosing utensils at the table, passing the salt and pepper, chewing ice, and disposing of olive pits. In addition to situation-specific guidance (""Finger foods, like an airplane, need to land somewhere first...No direct flights from the serving dish into the mouth""), this book provides the means for determining appropriate behavior in any situation by asking children to consider those around them."

Although the book is filled with the hard facts, it's done in a way that is pure fun for kids. I was surprised at how much I learned as well! Louise has a great way of interacting with her audiences. Joan Aguado, Montessori parent

Will kids sit still for a lesson in manners? They will if it's a program presented by Louise Elerding! She understands that kids learn best through participation and when they hear the message from their peers, and she's invented a clever interactive program that keeps kids engaged and entertained. --Hubert Kozak, children's librarian, Burbank Public Library I shared the etiquette tips with some of the best polished professionals in the office and it caught on like a hot stock pick. For adults it works like an 'Idiots Guide to Good Table Manners.' --John M. Padilla, vice president, investments, Smith Barney
