Customer Reviews

Great Book!

This is a great book for parents wanting to teach their kids manners before going out to eat. If only all kids behaved this well!

MY 4 year old daugher LOVES this book

My daughter absolutely loves this book. I don't know that it has actually changed her behaviour, but considering it's a book for learning, she loves it. I think it's the illustrations that are particularly inviting and that she relates to. I think she likes to see all the silly things that Max does. I love the oddball sense of rhyming and the brilliant use of colour in the otherwise black and white drawings. And, it makes you feel like you are teaching them imporant lessons.

I wish

I wish parents would read this book before taking their children out to dinner in a restaurant. There is nothing worse than having to deal with a disruptive child who is not yours. The advise in the book comes in a knowing, gentle way from an "older" sib to her younger brother. If we can't have the perfect child train the young one, then this book will do the job. It would be great if the book were handed out with menue's at any restaurant!

Chicken Fingers, Mac and Cheese...Why do you Always Have to Say Please?

Both of my young children, who are both under the age of 5, and both learning their table manners, thoroughly enjoyed this book! The clever rhymes and cute references really helped in the teaching of why it's important to be polite while eating. I recommend this book to any parent who is looking for a good story to read to their kids, or who has a young child just learning to read. It's fun, yet teaches good lessons.
