Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Little Critter's Manners
Mercer Mayer · 2020
75/100
👍 Worth It
Two short, warm stories about saying please and apologizing — handled with Mayer's signature humor so they never feel like a lecture. For families who don't own the original separate titles, this two-in-one format is an easy and affordable way to open up conversations about manners and accountability. Families who already have both stories will find nothing new here.
