How to Speak Politely and Why (Munro Leaf Classics)

Updated for the 21st century, How to Speak Politely and Why is a picture book with a point: proper speech and good grammar without nagging. It aims to remove â€œainâ€™tâ€ and â€œuh-huhâ€ and â€œgimmeâ€ and â€œgotâ€ and a score of unfortunate nuances by a simple, sure painless and humorous process. In his signature style of amusing stick figure drawings and captions, Leaf makes clear such things as the difference between can and may, and the reason why one does not say â€œhe done itâ€ or â€œshe come.â€
Exasperated parents (and grandparents) faced with the unpleasant task of dealing with grammatical lapses acquired by their children from (gasp!) their neighborâ€™s children will be delighted (and relieved) by this veritable â€œgrammar without tears.â€ Teachers will find it an indispensable ally, and even the culprits themselvesâ€”the childrenâ€”will discover that learning to speak politely and correctly isnâ€™t such a chore after all.
