Editorial Reviews

Portland Book Review

When Freda doesnt use polite words like please, thank you and youre welcome, her friends are reluctant to be bossed around. ||In the end, Freda realizes its more fun to be polite and get to play with everyone. At the end of the book, parents have a guide to explain the appropriate use of words like please, thank you and youre welcome. There is also a short list of discussion questions for parents and children to identify why manners are so important.
