The Professor of Etiquette
Submitted by admin on Thu, 11/19/2009 - 8:00am
While my focus is chapter books, this picture book is worth mentioning. A friend gave it to me in college as we frequently despaired over the brazen lack of etiquette in society. In fact, we saw a disproportionate number of these very things happen on the streets of NY.
The pictures are awesome; the text is amusing (and informative). I chuckle every time I read it.
