    Synopsis

    With this comprehensive manners guide, girls learn proper etiquette for everyday events and tricky social situations. The book is filled with great advice on everything from eating in fancy restaurants and handling troublemakers at parties to regaining composure after embarrassing accidents. Humorous illustrations, letters from other girls, and entertaining quizzes make the lessons fun to learn.

    Gr 3-7-This update of Oops! The Manners Guide for Girls (Pleasant Co, 1997) covers the basic etiquette areas, including cell phone and table manners, host and guest duties, and such occasions as weddings and family gatherings. The text is sprinkled with lots of colorful illustrations and quizzes geared to letting readers assess their own behavior. Though the rules echo the traditional thoughts on the subjects, the lively writing and straight talk make them seem fresh and relevant today. Especially well done is the section on writing nicely worded thank-you notes, which, in the age of text messaging and e-mails, takes on an even greater significance.-Elaine Baran Black, Gwinnett County Public Library, Lawrenceville, GA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

    April 24, 2008: It taught me a ton about manners, helping out, and being polite. If you adivce about being more polite, get this! Or, if you're already polite, you'll find advice to make you even more polite! It also helps you with embaressing and hard-to-handle situations. Take it from a girl who, yes, could sometimes be very rude. This also helps you not just look more mature, but act more mature too!
