Manners

Welcome to Reading Together. We will be one month old soon and we have had such fun picking books for this column. We hope you have found the recommendations useful. This week, the theme is manners, something that we all hope to instil in our children. But how do we do it without seeming didactic and nagging? Perhaps these books will provide a clue or two.
