Manners Can Be Fun by Munro Leaf  (48 pages)

Teaches children that having good manners, at home, at play, and visiting, is both respectful and kind to themselves and others. When we have good manners people enjoy being around us.

When the old oak tree says, “Share, Big Bear, share,” he thinks the tree has said, “Hair, Big Bear, hair!” One comical scene follows another as Big Bear keeps misunderstanding the old oak tree’s message until things finally get sorted out.

Manners In The Library by Carrie Finn

Manners In The Library by Carrie Finn, 24 pages

This book teaches manners in the library.  Some of the manners include: don't check out more books than you can read; keep quiet; use words like please and thank you; and return your books on time.  There are some interesting facts at the end of the story.  There are more than 117,000 libraries in the United States, and the Library of Congress has the most books in the United States.  I think both adults and children should read this book before getting a library card!
