This bright, engaging book from Ladybird is a gentle introduction to key manners and learning about being polite for young preschool children.

Pirate Pete and Princess Polly try to use the right words to be polite at nursery and when they are having fun at home. Toddlers will love the engaging text and colourful illustrations, which can also help to motivate them to learn and practise their manners to be just like their favourite pirate and princess!

Reviews

This is brilliantly structured so that it holds the interest when read aloud rather as a good joke before arriving at its punchline - Nick Sharratt's bright, simple pictures look almost as though an inspired child had produced them - and that may well be why children respond to them so warmly

—— Observer

A subtle and clever anecdote - a highly sophisticated book. The narrative is strong, the characters are distinctive and well-drawn. The ending is a stroke of brilliance

—— Daily Telegraph

Brilliantly witty

—— The School Librarian

A lovely story just begging to be read out loud

—— South Wales Argus
