The Book Fairy

About The Book Fairy

A career Children’s Librarian, the Book Fairy (a.k.a. kittenpie) has worked in library systems in both New York and Toronto. She’s thrilled to have another place to share the books she loves without creeping people out the way she does at the bookstore.

Books on behaviour are tricky, to be sure. They are often too preachy, too earnest, or just plain treacly. This one keeps it nice and simple.

Emily's Out and About Book
By Cindy Post Senning & Peggy Post
Illustrated by Leo Landry

Audience: kids 2-7 and their hopeful parents
Available at: www.chapters.indigo.ca
Why it's sweet:
This book from etiquette experts at the Emily Post Institute avoids the usual teaching stance of books on manners, choosing instead to follow Emily, who models lovely and place-appropriate behaviour in her travels. She may seem a bit goody-goody to your inner rebel, but I really like this approach, which admits nice manners can be hard and mentions why certain behaviours are important.

Can't believe it could be true? Take a look for yourself!
