Please, Papa

32 pp. | Farrar/Foster | May, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-36002-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska. Whimsical textual and visual touches elevate two stories about manners. In Papa, Alice learns when she asks for things with a "please," her parents respond positively. In Mama, her parents teach her to say "please" and "thank you" on a birthday trip to the zoo. Swiatkowska's occasionally surreal mixed-media illustrations feature characters in from a bygone era in old-fashioned attire. Review covers these two titles: Please, Papa and Thank You, Mama.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
