About this title: A humorous book about etiquette for very strange situations. Readers will learn the proper responses to such situations as: what to say when a brave knight saves you from a fierce dragoon, and how to respond when an evil cowboy asks, "Would you like me to shoot a hole in your head?" Humorous two-color illustrations accompany the text. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 1958.

"Well, this book's tagline is true! I don't believe that I ever HAVE read a funnier book about manners! Maurice Sendak does his part by bringing the illustrations, but in my thinking it is really Sesyle Joslin who shines here, coming up with some very funny twists on familiar situations that call for basic manners, all while frequently throwing in sharp and fresh "Kidisms" that any kid will identify as being similar to their own trains of thought. This is a nice, smart, fresh book."
"One of the best books around for teaching manners to young children. It was published many moons ago but the rhythmic timing of words is still catchy and fun for kids."
