A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
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, witty parenting writer and etiquette columnist Catherine Newman provides the ultimate guidebook of essential life skills for kids. 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 become more dependable--and like themselves better, too! They'll learn how to clean dirty rooms, care for pets and cactuses, stick up for somebody, and fold a T-shirt. They'll even get a crash course in 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). This handbook to becoming beyond helpful promises that every kid can be a valuable member of the grown-up world.Front Jacket
