Mind Your Manners B.B. Wolf is a story of the Big Bad Wolf who gets invited to a tea party. He is worried that he will mess up at the tea, so his best friend gets a book of etiquette to help B.B learn some manners. B.B. Wolf makes up a song to help him remember what he learned. At the tea, he feels
This is so cute. I really liked the illustrations. In fact that is what drew me to the book and I just had to check it out. I also thought that the bills he receives in the mail were quite funny, like having a sheep’s suit cleaned and paying for the damaged houses of the pigs.
After reading the book, the students would help make a chart of manners that we need to use everyday. I would even set up a tea party for the students to attend. They would each receive an invitation from me to attend my tea party and they will have to use their manners at all times. I would have the students help make gingerbread or some other kind of cookie and punch would be served instead of tea.

This hilarious read-aloud story is a gentle reminder for children still learning their manners. Wish I would have known about this book for when I was doing a read-aloud on manners at the beginning of the semester. Great for pre-k to 1st grade.

The Big Bad Wolf, B.B. Wolf, is now older and more mature. He is trying to show everyone he really has changed. When he gets invited to a tea party, he gets to show off his new manners.
This book was really cute and I like all the B.B. Wolf books. They all have a little lesson to be learned in
This book would be a great way to teach manners. They could point out all the nice things that B.B. Wolf does and discuss some of the manners they were taught.
