What's Polite? — Harriet Ziefert

What fun! Scooter the pig and his grandparents are dining in a real restaurant tonight. That means Scooter wants to show off his good manners. But what should he do? Lift the flaps and find out exactly what it means to be polite. At the table, Scooter doesn't touch anything he shouldn't; with a flip of the flap he takes Grandma's hand instead. The waiter offers a menu; what does Scooter say? Under the flap, see the words “thank you.” Scooter also learns to wait for everyone to get their food before starting to eat, not to grab, and to use a napkin (not a shirt sleeve) to wipe his mouth. He behaves so beautifully that no one would ever call Scooter...a pig.
