If someone says, How do you feel? You say I feel WELL or ILL not I
feel GOOD or BAD.That is what you say if you mean that you behave
yourself or are naughty.On the heels of Manners Can Be Fun and
Reading Can Be Fun comes the next acclaimed Munro Leaf book, How to
Speak Politely and Why, originally published as Grammar Can Be Fun
in 1934. Updated for the 21st century, How to Speak Politely and
Why is a picture book with a point: proper speech and good grammar
without nagging. It aims to remove "ain't" and "uh-huh" and "gimme"
and "got" and a score of unfortunate nuances by a simple, sure,
painless, and humorous process. In his signature style of amusing
stick-figure drawings and captions, Leaf makes clear such things as
the difference between can and may, and the reason why one does not
say "he done it" or "she come."Exasperated parents (and
grandparents) faced with the unpleasant task of dealing with
grammatical lapses acquired by their children from (gasp!) their
neighbor's children will be delighted (and relieved) by this
veritable "grammar without tears." Teachers will find it an
indispensable ally, and even the culprits themselves-the
children-will discover that learning to speak politely and
correctly isn't such a chore after all.
