How To Be A Person

For the kid who leaves a wet towel wadded up on the floor or forgets to put a new roll on the toilet-paper thingy, humorous writer & etiquette columnist Catherine Newman has created the ultimate guidebook to becoming a person whom everyone will like being around more. Jam-packed with tips, tricks, & skills — all illustrated in an irresistible graphic novel–style — this book shows kids just how easy it is to free themselves from parental nagging & become more dependable — & they’ll like themselves better, too! They’ll learn how to deal with dirty rooms, care for pets & cactuses, stick up for somebody, & fold a T-shirt. They’ll even get a crash course on using the kitchen (including how to turn a 33-cent package of ramen into dinner) & a boot camp for lending a hand outside the house (mowing, shoveling, & fixing something loose has never been easier). This handbook to becoming beyond helpful promises that every kid can be a valued & valuable member of the grown-up world!
