WHAT DO YOU DO, DEAR? (TEXT RIGHTS ONLY)

Sesyle Joslin Maurice Sendak

Proper conduct for all Occasions

A Second Handbook of Etiquette for Young Ladies and Gentlemen to be used as a Guide for Everyday Social Behavior.
What do you do when:
a lady polar bear walks into your igloo in a white fur coat? the lady you are forcing to walk the plank drops her handkerchief? you meet someone coming the other way on a circus tightrope?
This is the funniest book on good behavior you'll ever read! Sesyle Joslin is the author of WHAT DO YOU SAY, DEAR, which was named an ALA Notable Children's Book and a Caldecott Honor Book.

Maurice Sendak received the Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are. Best known for his children's classics, including In the Night Kitchen, Chicken Soup with Rice, Alligators All Around, and the Little Bear books, he has received the Hans Christian Andersen Medal, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, the National Medal of Arts, and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.

The honor-winning What Do You Say, Dear? has a delicious sequel here in nonsensical illustration of good manners. Sendak's pictures account for a great share of fun
