Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Manners Stink! Starring Kennedy
Demika Caldwell · 2011
60/100
👎 Skip It
Kennedy's resistance to manners is a relatable hook for preschoolers and parents report the humor lands well at storytime. As a self-published title with very limited distribution and no editorial vetting on record, though, it is hard to recommend over better-resourced alternatives in the same space. Charming in context but not a title you'd seek out.
