Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Table Manners
Vladimir Radunsky · 2001
74/100
👍 Worth It
Radunsky and Raschka take a topic that usually produces preachy, forgettable books and make it genuinely funny and visually alive. The postmodern collision of geometric forms and clipped photos gives adults something to enjoy alongside the kids. It may baffle very young readers, but that's part of the charm.
