Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Wild about Manners
Loria Lorraine · 2013
63/100
👎 Skip It
The concept is appealing — animal friends at a party teaching manners through rhyme — and the educational intent lands, but self-publishing through Piccolo Tales means limited polish and independent vetting. Educator reviews are warm but anecdotal, and without stronger critical backing this sits in the crowded middle of the manners-picture-book shelf.
