Children's Table Manners in Rhyme
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Sit up as straight as you are able,
And no elbows on the table.
Hands and napkin rest in your lap.
Don’t eat dinner in your cap.
Use your cutlery to take a bite.
Don’t grip it like you’re in a fight

About the Book
Join Frankie and her mom as they embark on an adventure to learn table manners and etiquette for an upcoming dinner party at their home. Grandma and grandpa are coming for a visit and they need to practice polite behavior. Frankie’s mom uses rhyme to teach Frankie and her mischievous cat, Sinatra, how to behave at the dinner table, from proper form during the meal to a graceful finish. Each page is humorously illustrated and written in short rhymes to help young children remember what to do as they begin to enter the world of “grown ups” and learn manners.
