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