Go, Bobby, Go!: Mind Your Manners

He's got a lot of heart. He just needs a little polish. It's a big family dinner - Mom, Dad, and Grandma - and Bobby is ready to go. A little too ready. He squeezes past the host. He hollers across the dining room. He grabs the bread before anyone else gets a turn. Every parent knows that sinking feeling, and Bobby's dad feels every bit of it. But Dad doesn't just bark rules from across the table. He shows his son a better way - by opening doors, holding chairs, and treating the women he loves with care. Then they go back and do the whole night again, the gentleman's way. Because a gentleman isn't born. He's taught - by watching a man treat people tenderly. Inside this book: - Manners kids can actually practice - waiting to be seated, indoor voices, greeting family, waiting your turn, please and thank you - The "get the door" rule - one simple habit Bobby learns at the car door and carries everywhere - A place-setting page that finally makes the table make sense - A warm Black family - Mom, Dad, and Grandma right at the center of the story - Rhyming read-aloud built on the call-and-response kids shout along with: "No, Bobby, No!" ... "Go, Bobby, Go!" Perfect for ages 4 to 8 - and a favorite gift from grandparents who still believe in a firm handshake and a held door. Book 2 in the Go, Bobby, Go! series. Every book takes one big-hearted mistake and turns it into a proud moment. Start with Go, Bobby, Go!, then bring Bobby to dinner. Made for bedtime, preschool and kindergarten read-alouds, and anyone raising a little gentleman.
