Another wolf
In Mind Your Manners, B.B. Wolf, another elderly wolf attends a storybook tea party, where he hopes to snag some cookies. He learns from an etiquette book to “sip your tea and never slurp/say ‘excuse me’ if you burp”. Being a formerly big bad wolf, he adds, “Smile and have a lot of fun, but don’t go biting anyone!’ Judy Sierra’s text will make kids and adults laugh out loud (the wolf’s mail box is crammed with bills for house damage and cleaning a granny outfit, for instance), and it may incidentally reinforce good manners. Alfred A. Knopf, $16.99. Recommended for ages 4-8.
