Marc Brown is the bestselling author and illustrator of the Arthur Adventure book series. His newest series introduces Arthur's little sister D.W. in D.W.'s Guide to Preschool and D.W.'s Guide to Perfect Manners.
Arthur dares his sister D.W. to be perfect for one entire day in D.W.'s Guide to Perfect Manners. Perfect involves the do's and don'ts of good manners. C.W. is enthusiastic, and accepts the challenge, has fun with it and teaches herself and others some valuable lessons.
D.W.'s day is one where she consciously decides to be helpful and polite. She strives to follow rules, hug those she loves, be respectful, help friends and family, smiles, says please and thank you and hello and good-bye, or excuse me.
D.W.'s Guide to Perfect Manners is a delightful book. It's educational and informative but also a lot of fun. C.W. has a quick wit that will make children and adults smile. It's written in a manner that will draw children into the concept and they will have fun practicing common courtesy.
Armchair Interviews says: Every family will benefit from Brown's D.W.'s guide to Perfect Manners.
