We Love the Company:
A Story About Table Manners
Let’s go to the table, and all take a seat for a wonderful review of what to do and what not to do while dining. Join this diverse group of young children as they explain table manners from their point-of-view while enjoying each other’s company.
Lyrical rhyming verses work seamlessly with vivid watercolor images and creative borders that also encourage healthy choices. Includes a companion song, spoken word, and instrumental version on CD.
According to the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, and a voluminous body of research, the best strategy for improving a child’s diet is simply putting food on the table and sitting down together to eat it.
