I Knew You'D Understand

An adventurous child can't figure out why his behavior leaves him out in the cold when everyone else goes off to a party. Through poetry, bright illustrations and actions all his own, our child figures out behaviors that win him favors and friends. This is a perfect etiquette book for the beginning reader and family. EXCERPT: You ask me "please" to clean my room. But I'm just too tired to lift a broom. ...I knew you'd understand. My candy, my toys you tell me to share! Them first, I say. It's only fair. ...I knew you'd understand. Eat with my mouth closed, you beg! Hey, slurping and smacking still gets me fed. ...I knew you'd understand. I know there are times that I shouldn't run and shout. But it's not my fault this behavior just sneaks out. ...I knew you'd understand. So, I hurt your feelings with the fun that I was poking. Geez, don't be so sensitive, I was only joking. ...I knew you'd understand. Hey! Where's everyone going? Why are they so excited? Wait! What about me? Why wasn't I invited? I don't understand! Don't you wonder if he learned his lesson?
