Judi The Manners Lady, accompanied by a cast of talented children, teaches kids all about good manners in this lively, award winning CD packed with catchy tunes.  Laying a great foundation, the first few songs teach kids that we should put others first and obey the Golden Rule.  Using songs and stories, kids learn everything from obeying their parents (the first time, "right away without delay", completely and with no complaining) to remembering to wash their hands before they eat.  I especially liked the story, Prince Knife and Princess Spoon, which Judi uses to teach kids how to set the table.  The Manners Lady and her young friends have so much enthusiasm that kids can't help but sing along! 

Most young children love to sing along with fun songs, why not play a CD that encourages them to use good manners? Kids can even say the Good Manners Pledge and join The Manners Club by visiting her website and downloading their own Membership Card and Respect Diamond - a great craft for them to build.  In this day of "everyone doing what is right in his own eyes", it's comforting to know there are people like Judi The Manners Lady who believe it is still important to train our children to obey their parents and put others first.
