Synopsis

How Should I Behave? takes a friendly and practical look at manners and the appropriate way to react and conduct yourself in a particular situation. Taking a range of scenarios, the book covers the simple effectiveness of 'please' and 'thank you' and mealtime manners, to the rather more scary situations of how to deal with bullies and 'stranger danger' Using the same question and answer approach as the successful How Did I Begin?, this book is the perfect way to explore an awkward area which young children often worry about and try hard to get 'right', giving sensible, reassuring advice without being overly didactic. It i the third title in a loosely-related series by award-winners Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom which looks at some of the concerns young children need to understand as part of 'growing up'. In doing so, they also provide an indispensible resource for any parent or teacher who wants to explore these issues with a child.

About the Author:

Mick Manning (Author)
Mick Manning (born in Yorkshire, England, 1959) and Brita Granström (born in Eskilstuna, Sweden, 1969) work together as a team sharing the illustration and text. They have been producing award-winning non-fiction picture books for almost twenty years. They show that the best non-fiction for children can be scholarly, albeit with a light touch, and can have some of the imagination-stretching qualities of fiction.

They are well known for their exciting performances involving readings and live drawing using overhead camera projection (often involving participation from members of the audience) all mixed with an audio-visual presentation. They appear on a regular basis at major UK book festival venues such as Bath, Cheltenham and Edinburgh International Book Festival. They have appeared at The Royal Society Science Festival and have celebrated The Big Draw at various venues including The Imperial War Museum.

They have worked closely to support libraries and schools, performing voluntarily to school classes in the UK and Sweden and have also attended the American Library Conference and visited US schools.

Many of Manning & Granström's books are translated into a number of languages, including Chinese, German, Greek, Danish, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish and Slovakian.

For the last 12 years Mick & Brita have created, written and illustrated a monthly 5-page gentle pre-school series called 'Max and Kate' for the critically acclaimed US children's magazine Ladybug.
