Emily's Magic Words

It takes only a few magic words to have good manners.

Let please, thank you, and excuse me act as your magic wand. Just by waving around these simple phrases, you can open doors, bring smiles to faces, and make friends.

Through playful moments, the book shows how a cheery hello greets Nutmeg, a prompt thank you welcomes a cookie, and an excuse me smooths over a sudden burp. The pages illustrate how friendly farewells reassure playmates, a warm good-bye comforts Grandma, and an apology repairs a small mistake.

Authors Cindy Post Senning and Peggy Post ground each lesson in courtesy, helping toddlers turn frowns into smiles. Try it and see! Thanks to the magical touch of Emily Post, the most trusted name in etiquette, learning good manners has never been more easy and fun.
