Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Howard B. Wigglebottom and Manners Matters
Reverend Ana · 2013
74/100
👍 Worth It
Howard B. Wigglebottom is a reliable, well-worn classroom friend, and this thirteenth entry does exactly what the series promises — a clear lesson on manners delivered with enough gentle humor that it does not feel like a lecture. The educator tips at the back make it genuinely useful beyond storytime. It is formulaic by design, but for the K–3 classroom or a counselor's shelf, that consistency is a feature.
