You'Ve Got Manners Youthful Dining Etiquette Table Tips from A to Z for Kids of All Ages

From 6 to 13 years. This guide to proper behaviour at the dinner table provides an introduction to etiquette for kids and a refresher in manners for adults. Offering three tips for each letter of the alphabet, kids are asked to examine the factors that contribute to proper form. Guides Polly Politely and Milton Manners introduce kids to the correct way of handling situations such as choosing utensils at the table, passing the salt and pepper, chewing ice, and disposing of olive pits. In addition to situation-specific guidance ("Finger foods, like an aeroplane, need to land somewhere first. . . . No direct flights from the serving dish into the mouth"), this book provides the means for determining appropriate behaviour in any situation by asking children to consider those around them.Elerding, Louise is the author of 'You'Ve Got Manners Youthful Dining Etiquette Table Tips from A to Z for Kids of All Ages', published 2004 under ISBN 9780972923705 and ISBN 0972923705.
