This is a long lost book from my personal past that I was very delighted to run across again. I purchased it as much for myself as I did my daughter - we both enjoy it in equal measure. It's an extremely well illustrated (and written) book about etiquette and manners (something that seems to be rather lacking these days). On each page, it depicts a "Thingumajig" (a nasty and impolite, yet adorable creature) doing something that is considered rude by polite society. In the bottom corner of each page is a silhouette of a little boy or girl explaining why one should not do what the Thingumajig(s) is doing, followed by an explanation of a polite alternative to the illustrated behavior. It's entertaining without coming off as preachy and it leaves quite an impression (I never forgot it all of the years in between my early childhood until now - which is over 25 years now). Definitely a great buy and a good investment for the future.Read full review
It’s been thirty years and I still know it by heart. Classic.
