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!
不管世界如何变化，进退应对的礼貌是永远不过时​​的，所以，在许多场合，我们千万不能忘了说“请”、“谢谢”、“对不起”，就算是在街上倒退走着撞到凶巴巴的鳄鱼、或是坠机掉进公爵夫人的豪宅里，都要记得用合宜适当的话解决尴尬的情境！

这本由著名插画家Maurice Sendak绘图的经"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)
典绘本设计了十余个充满想像力的情境，虽看似天马行空，却融入了日常生活必备的社交礼仪，让孩子在幽默欢乐之中学习待人接物的基本礼节。
