​
It’s okay to enjoy roaring loudly.
We all deserve some time to play.
But all lions should practice those soft growls
For the quieter times of the day.
​
Welcome to the jungle! It’s full of misbehaving animals from messy monkeys to grumpy grizzly bears.
But now it’s time for them – and you! – to learn how good manners make the world go round.

"This vastly entertaining book doesn't reason with or cajole kids to have better manners. It unabashedly points out bad behavior-'Just stop right there!' is the opening salvo-and illustrates its consequences. … The lushly painted backdrop of the jungle, with cartoon-like animals showcased, makes this a delightful, rather than a dutiful, read."
-- Booklist

"A playful guide to etiquette."
-- Kirkus Reviews

"Edwards' rhyming text will help implement good manners being taught by parents and teachers. Thomas' lively illustrations bring the text alive."
-- The Pirate Tree

"...a funny, creative way to introduce the importance of sharing and caring to your reading beginner."
