This book tells of the importance of using our manners on the playground. It gives several different examples of how we can use our manners when playing.

I liked that this book had several examples of how to use our manners when playing outside. However, I felt that it was "too simple". It seemed as though every page was the same other than a different example. I feel that it could have been more engaging.

This book could be used throughout the year to remind the students why it is important to use their manners. It would be especially good at the beginning of the year and for younger students. After reading the book, the students could act out different scenarios and show how they would use their manners.

Manners on the Playground is a great book for students beginning school. I read this to a Pre-K classroom and they chimed in intently. Students starting school may not know how to behave or interact. This book is a fun way to improve manners.

Cute pictures and my students loved the series. They even practiced! Unfortunately, my ex's child didn't grasp the concept (which is why I am now single).

I wouldn't call it necessarily the most interesting but serves a very clear purpose.
