Teaching manners to toddlers is easier than you may think. Manners start with a smile—then you add the words. There are polite words to use when you greet someone, ask for something, or (oops!) make a mistake. There's even a nice way to say no. This book gives toddlers a head start on manners, setting the stage for social skills that will last a lifetime. An award-winning author-illustrator team offers a fresh look at the times and transitions all toddlers face daily, giving young children the tools to handle routines with confidence and cooperation. Elizabeth Verdick has been writing books since 1997, the year her daughter was born. Her two children, now ages 13 and 8, are the inspiration for nearly everything she writes. These days she writes books for toddlers to teens, and everything in between. Her popular series are Toddler Tools, Best Behavior and Laugh and Learn series. Elizabeth lives with her family and five pets near St. Paul, Minnesota. |
