This latest collection of "silly dilly" songs is about manners, from "Don't Chew Gum in the Classroom" (to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game") to "Writing Thank-Yous" (to the tune of "Alouette"). Though some of the lyrics scan awkwardly against the original versions, the songs and the zany caricatured illustrations have the same energy and charm as the previous books.
