Glin Dibley, a major talent whose illustrations were hailed as "exuberant" by School Library Journal, and new author Valerie Wheeler combine forces to create a rollicking, riotous picture book that will have youngsters giggling and shouting with delight. Yes, kids will happily shout out the answers to the wonderfully silly questions posed in this picture book. And, no, they won't even realize they're learning about manners at the same time, because they'll be having way too much fun. The bright and goofy text simply encourages young ones and their parents to make a joyful noise in chorus with the happy little boy in the story. Would you like to ride on the back of a dolphin? --Yes, please! Would you like the dolphin to steal your bathing suit? --No, thank you. Would you like to visit the fair and go on all the rides? --Yes, please! Would you like to throw up on the lady beside you? --No, thank you. Will children want to read this over and over and over again? Oh, yes please!

Mind Your Manners! The Berenstain Bears know that it is always best to be polite. Their good manners come in handy all the time: when fishing with Papa Bear, when making mud pies, when playing pirates with friends, and when putting on the school play. Even a run-in with the neighborhood bully is an opportunity to be polite! Read along as Brother and Sister and Honey Bear learn when to say "Let me help," "You're welcome," "Excuse me," "I'm sorry," "How are you?" "Nice to meet you," and, of course, "Please" and "Thank you." If the Berenstain Bears can do it, you can too!

Children are taught the words, please and thank you very early in life. Yet by the time they reach adolescence, they seldom use them. McCullough believes that the neglect of courtesy leads to the collapse of community. In Say Please, Say Thank You, he explores life's opportunities for treating others with consideration. In doing so, we build community and character. We become gracious people, more able to give and receive life's simple but essential gifts.
