A book of advice, subtitled "Manners for Today's Kids," on how to
deal with various issues of etiquette, including introductions,
school dances, family vacations, meals, parties, hospitalized and
bereaved friends, and many others. The chapters include relevant
letters to a "mythical" columnist, K.T. Answers, and subsequent
advice. Important and useful information appears in this volume,
especially in the chapter on "Difficult Times," and most of the
tips are sensible and not overly starchy. As a whole, though, the
book is rather dull, and the chapter on introductions, no matter
how commonsense, will have many children giving up without an
effort. The most interesting parts are letters to K.T. Answers,
which show specific problems from a child's perspective and provide
specific solutions. Funny black-and-white illustrations help James
and Barkin (A Place of Your Own, 1981, etc.) make the point that
manners are the oil that keeps social situations running smoothly;
children facing new predicaments will be glad of the
straightforward table of contents to help them locate their
particular areas of concern. (Kirkus Reviews)
In a conversational, interspersed with letters from fictional columnist K.T. ("Knows The") Answers, the authors offer advice on subjects of concern to middle graders.
