publishers Weekly
this Popular And Prolific Author-artist Here Examines An Important Topic For Children--good Manners: How To Achieve Them And How To Maintain Them. Every Page Brims With Etiquette Tips, Expressed By Small-sized Figures Drawn In Aliki's Customarily Cheery Style. If There Is A Problem Here, It Is One Of Excess: The Dos And Don'ts Fly By So Thick And Fast That Readers May Have Difficulty Grasping Them. A Lack Of Organization May Further Confuse The Book's Users. The Subjects Are Broached In No Discernible Order, And Text Is Presented Willy-nilly In Captions Under Pictures And In Cartoon-style Balloons. One Page Bears The Heading ``ouch,'' And Depicts Two Girls Strolling Down The Street As Another Girl Approaches. The Copy Above The Picture Reads, ``here Comes Alexa. / Let's Ignore Her,'' While Two Tiny Birds Below--they And Several Animal Friends Make Pertinent And Impertinent Asides Throughout--say ``bad Manners And Bad Feelings'' And ``is Alexa Going To Go Home And Cry?'' Cause And Effect Seem To Be Missing Here, And The Main Issue Glossed Over. Though Certainly Well-intentioned, This Book May Prove More Chaotic Than Constructive. Ages 5-up. (oct.)
