Espeland and Verdick break down the barriers of formal etiquette to help young readers adopt a more mannerly lifestyle. Their conversational writing style will have readers smiling and nodding in agreement as they use everyday examples, include fun puns, incorporate age-appropriate humor, and explain how manners make life better. Chapters include the following mannerly topics: words of politeness, family etiquette, appropriate body language and body manners, dining and phone manners, proper manners to give and receive gifts, etiquette online, and classroom manners. Also included are a manners quiz, quick facts and two regular sidebars: “Fancy Pants Manners, helping readers take their etiquette a step further,” and “Clue 4 U, tips to make everyday etiquette less confusing.” Mark’s cartoon-like illustrations help explain the scenarios the authors describe and keep the tone light and informal. All in all, this pocket-sized text will appeal to both mannerly-minded and mannerless boys and girls everywhere. 2007, Free Spirit Publishing, $8.95. Ages 8 to 12. Series:
