About this ebook
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
For the kid who leaves a wet towel wadded up on the floor or forgets to put a new roll on the toilet-paper thingy, witty parenting writer and etiquette columnist Catherine Newman provides the ultimate guidebook of essential life skills for kids.
Jam-packed with tips, tricks, and skills—all illustrated in an irresistible graphic novel–style—this book shows kids just how easy it is to become more dependable—and like themselves better, too! They’ll learn how to clean dirty rooms, care for pets and cactuses, stick up for somebody, and fold a T-shirt.
They’ll even get a crash course in using the kitchen (including how to turn a 33-cent package of ramen into dinner) and a boot camp for lending a hand outside the house (mowing, shoveling, and fixing something loose has never been easier).
This handbook to becoming beyond helpful promises that every kid can be a valuable member of the grown-up world.
