What do you say when:
you bump into a crocodile on a crowded city street?


a nice gentleman introduces you to a baby elephant?


the Queen feeds you so much spaghetti that you don't fit in your chair anymore?

This is the funniest book of manners you'll ever read!
不管世界如何變化，進退應對的禮貌是永遠不過時​​的，所以，在許多場合，我們千萬不能忘了說“請”、“謝謝”、“對不起”，就算是在街上倒退走著撞到兇巴巴的鱷魚、或是墜機掉進公爵夫人的豪宅里，都要記得用合宜適當的話解決尷尬的情境！

這本由著名插畫家Maurice Sendak繪圖的經"You have gone downtown to do some shopping. You are walking backwards, because sometimes you like to, and you bump into a crocodile. What do you say, dear?" This is just one of the delightful hypothetical situations introduced by award-winning author Sesyle Joslin in this "handbook of etiquette for young ladies and gentlemen to be used as a guide for everyday social behavior." Maurice Sendak's quirky, comical illustrations are perfect for this old-fashioned, whimsical guide to manners. First published in 1958, this Caldecott Honor Book and ALA Notable Children's Book is a time- tested, fun way to teach your children important lessons. By the way, "Excuse me" is the proper response to the crocodile above! (Ages 4 to 8)
典繪本設計了十余個充滿想像力的情境，雖看似天馬行空，卻融入了日常生活必備的社交禮儀，讓孩子在幽默歡樂之中學習待人接物的基本禮節。
