Children at play in the park learn to ride their bikes safely, to share the playground swings with other kids, to avoid littering, and to have fun while being considerate of others in the park. Suggested activities include games specially suited to the park surroundings. The bright color illustrations on every page of Mind Your Manners Books will appeal to younger boys and girls, while the easy to understand stories teach them fundamental rules of good behavior. The brief stories dramatize typical events in children lives, showing kids as they interact with other children, with teachers, and with other adults.

Beginning readers see boys and girls who are very much like themselves, as they make mistakes, have small accidents, then discover the best ways to correct their errors, avoid mishaps, and feel good about themselves while they have fun. Each book suggests appropriate activities and offers guidelines for moms and dads.
