Muppet Manners

The Kermit-and-Animal pairing is a genuinely clever vehicle for manners lessons — Animal's joyful chaos makes each etiquette point land with a laugh rather than a lecture, which is exactly how you reach a four-year-old. The lift-the-flap format keeps small hands busy and invites repeated read-aloud sessions. It's out of print and the text is slender, but for a preschooler who knows the Muppets it remains a warm, effective little book.
