"Storytime! That's all the little barnyard animals need to hear to send them flocking to their librarian, who has some rip-roaring, song-singing, nursery-rhyming, snack-timing fun in store for them! You've never seen a storytime quite like this...and reading has never been such fun!. Set to the tune of 'She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes.'"--Jacket.

If you're smart, you'll read my bookOf modern children's etiquette.If you don't, I'm sad to say –Your life will be pathetiquette.Meet Miss Information, the world's foremost expert on bad behavior, as she offers upside-down advice about the etiquette of absolutely everything. In twenty impishly off-center poems she states her views on such important topics as bathing (with and without gerbils), kissing (Komodo dragons as well as teachers), and eating. Exuberant illustrations full of hilarious antics add to the humor of this mischievous spoof on bad behavior. These sly poems offer a child-friendly way to discuss what good behavior really should be like and are sure to become every child's essential guide to – a rollicking good time!
