Who's child doesn't need to be reminded of improper social behavior and good manners? I bought this for my 7 year old son, but my 9 year old son and 11 year old daughter loved it too. This book talks about these things in a very humorous way that had all 3 kids laughing while learning. What else but fun would you expect from Whoopi Goldberg? It seems my children need to hear this kind of social stuff from others besides just their Moms, and I was pleased to see it addressed with humor. Like Mary Poppins says, "a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down!" You won't regret this purchase. Cardinal-k on eBay
This book starts off like an innocuous book of basic etiquette and light-hearted humor, but when I came across a comment in the middle of the book stating that it was not polite to burp in public, "unless you're in Korea", and it's not good manners to slurp your food "unless you're in China", I really did a double take. This, in a book designed to teach children manners and proper behavior in our society? One might forgive comedians making racially derogatory remarks in an adult-themed monologue, but that was certainly not what a parent should expect, or accept, in a book written for their children. There's enough intolerance and bigotry in our world without books like this encouraging such attitudes.
