Blurb:
"This ABC book of manners, rendered in beautiful pen and ink, features a friendly Newfoundland dog gently demonstrating social skills such as expressing, “Thank you,” picking up after oneself and being kind to others. Each alphabet letter features a puppy whose breed begins with that letter and corresponds to the letters contained within the manners. “Seek and find” elements invite readers to color the pictures. An appendix identifies the puppies-in-the-letters for added ABC fun. This book’s timely messages resonate with all ages, abilities and walks of life because now, more than ever, manners matter. Printed on sturdy card stock and coil-bound in the USA. (Ages 5 and up)."
