Rules of the Wild: An Unruly Book of Manners

32 pp. | Chronicle | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8118-4226-6 $14.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Amanda Shepherd. This playful lesson in animal etiquette shows a boy spitting with camels, burping with walruses, and engaging in other behaviors typically forbidden by human parents. Paintings in light, warm shades enhance the indulgent mood of the rhyming text, which ends with a chart clarifying which activities (e.g., "bathe in the dirt?" "dunk food in your drink?") are approved for which species, including human.
