Teach your kids about manners with these books

My kids take the written word as gospel...and I've been working with them on manners this summer...which explains why this particular stack of books has made its way into our house:

How to behave and why, by Munro Leaf

This is an old fashioned book I first saw at Anthropologie...it's back in print after being found by the right passionate person in a used book store. It talks about how to live right and my kids were absorbed by it first reading, but haven't been as interested since (they say it's too long). Still, I really like it, and it's enabled me to talk about some thing to the kids (eg it's fair for us to ask you to pick up your toys, as everyone needs to help out around the house) that I will continue to bring up.

Rude cakes, by Rowboat Watkins

This is the flip side of "How to behave..."—super short, super modern, super funny. Recently published, downright hilarious, this has been a staple in our house for months. It features a rude pink cake and a bunch of VERY well-mannered giant cyclopses. I love books like this that are so quirky and funny and get a good message across without being preachy. 

Do unto otters, by Laurie Keller

Some otters move in next to a rabbit and the rabbit thinks about how he'd like the otters to treat him, realizing that that's how he should treat the otters too. Cute and engaging. Teaches words like please and thank you in 5 languages.

Dude, that's rude, by Pamela Espeland and Elizabeth Verdick

This is written a little above the kids' age level but Luke especially loves the title and I've been reading them little snippets out of here at their request...

The Bernstain Bears forget their manners, by Stan and Jan Berenstain

These bears are always good for a lesson...this is a current favorite and I like it because Mama Bear makes a list of manners and the kids decide they will go overboard on using manners...which the kids don't realize 's something every mother would love...

Please say please, by Margery Cuyler and Will Hillenbrand

This is a book about dinner table manners taught in the setting of an animal dinner party, and I love it because it presents the wrong scenario and then asks, "Is that right?" For example: "If a lion is served cauliflower, he should say, 'Ew! Yuck!' Is that right?" And the kids laugh and giggle and say no. And the next page: "A lion should say, 'I'll try some. Mmmm...not bad...'" The kids love laughing about the bad examples. Another book that has been in rotation a lot lately.

Any other good books about manners I should know about? Please share! :)
