About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-KABen Bunny and his friends are busily gobbling and slurping their lunch when a black crow comes along and points out that making noise while eating is not polite. His offer to explain good table manners is accepted by the three animals that now wear sheepish expressions on their dirty faces. As each example of inappropriate behavior is mentioned, children lift a flap to reveal the proper way to conduct themselves at the table. With its simple rhyming narrative, the book is made memorable only by humorous watercolor-and-ink cartoon illustrations (in one scene, a bulldog uses a spoon as a slingshot). Caralyn and Mark Buehner's It's a Spoon, Not a Shovel (Dial, 1995) offers equally attractive illustrations with a far more clever text.AJackie Hechtkopf, Talent House School, Fairfax, VA
