I like this book because it gives examples of several situations of good manners, includes children of various ages, and has several fun facts at the end which give examples of good manners in other countries. The children in the book use good manners in places such as in the store, a restaurant, or a museum. On page 16, the children use good manners by waiting in line at the movie theater. The book also uses children whose ages range from early elementary school through middle school. On page 23 there are six fun facts about manners in different countries.
