This amusing title provides at least 20 reasons--and 20 poems--justifying good manners. The poems range from reasons for suppressing those infectious giggles when in public to a justification for closing one's mouth while eating. Readers, young and old, can certainly relate to these examples of what happens when manners are ignored. The author even has written a poem about my pet peeve, noisy folks at the movie theatre: "At the Movies" in which he chastizes those who talk and dare to rattle their candy wrappers during the film. The digital illustrations add even more reader enjoyment since the mannerless folks being drawn are so funny. What a great way to make lessons in proper behavior go down smoothly!
