“Good Table Manners for Little Monkeys is a wonderfully written and illustrated book that all parents should own.  What a fun way to teach those ever important table skills that all ‘little monkeys’ need to learn!  Young readers will want to read it over and over again when they see the funny antics of the monkeys as they try to learn their manners.”

“Susie Lee Jin uses cute and likeable monkeys to create a sturdy board book about table manner etiquette.  There are not too many kids I know who do not love monkeys.  I think your child will be enchanted with this book.  The text is short and simple enough for young children to understand and the monkey illustrations will keep them engaged.  This book is a great way to introduce correct table manners, but in a fun and positive way.  My favorite part is the page that says to say grace before eating.  I think it's important to instill this attribute in young children.  I found this to be a wonderful selection for young children!”
— Kami Horner, Franklin Monroe Elementary

“What a wonderful picture book that teaches necessary skills in a fun and amusing way!  As an elementary school teacher for eight years, I would happily recommend this book to beginning readers and fellow educators.  The colorfully bright and cheerful illustrations make learning fun, pairing key vocabulary with helpful pictures to ensure thorough comprehension.  English Language Learners would benefit from this book since the topics span across cultures and the lessons are easy to grasp due to the repetitive language and supportive images.  Lastly, all adults can relate to acting like a 'little monkey' when they were a kid and can't help break into a reminiscent smile as they flip through the story.”
—Ashley Bowen, elementary school teacher

The messages are kid friendly and appealing and manners are so important these days, especially for children.”
—Gloria F. Forsyth, Associate Director of Public Services, Braswell Memorial Library
