Munro leaf's classic 1950s children's books teach important life lessons while remaining completely fun and engaging.
Updated for the 21st century, How to Speak Politely and Why is a picture book with a point: proper speech and good grammar without nagging.
It aims to remove “ain’t” and “uh-huh” and “gimme” and “got” and a score of unfortunate nuances by a simple, sure painless and humorous process.
In his signature style of amusing stick figure drawings and captions, Leaf makes clear such things as the difference between can and may, and the reason why one does not say “he done it” or “she come.”
