Miss Mistake sometimes doesn’t know the proper thing to say or do around others. Thank goodness for her smart butterfly friend, Mannie, who teaches her the polite thing to say or do in a way that is fun and kind. Studies show that children who are socially adept are more successful throughout their lives (when it comes to making friends, doing well in school, avoiding risky behaviors and holding a stable job). Join Miss Mistake as she learns how to be her very best self at home, at school, in a restaurant, at the movie theater and everywhere!

Miss Mistake, Mind Your Manners at Home!
“Miss Mistake: Mind Your Manners At Home is a lovely elementary book that truly depicts the essence of having good manners and respect toward one another. It also illustrates to children that having respect, good manners, and being courteous to one another can promote a healthy learning environment. I would recommend this delightful children’s book for any parent or teacher who has children second through sixth grade.”
At Ho me!
