The authors/artists serve up an irreverent and humorous guide that would surely displease Martha Stewart. Proper Chester instructs a manners-impaired Dudunya in the basics as well as some more obscure skills (napkin folding for the Queen). The mixed-media art and variety of type sizes contribute to a frantic design, but this determindly offbeat effort will appeal to those with a loose approach to etiquette.
