'The Giggly Guide of How to Behave at School' with words and art by Philippe Jalbert is a book of manners for young readers.

This time around, manners at school are given. Like not making fun of others or staying with assigned partners on school trips. Accompanying this great advice, are pretty hilarious pictures mostly showing what not to do.

This is a fun series, and probably not a bad way to teach manners (unless you are raising a little joker). The illustrations are incredible and make the book one to look at.

The Giggly Guide of How to Behave at School is such fun book!
My children had a blast while I read it to them. Very educational, it reinforces good manners but makes it so much fun at the same time with hilarious illustrations.
My children were laughing out loud and afterwards had a long discussion about which illustration was the funniest.
It was also an excellent opportunity to talk about how students should behave both at school and out of it, and proper behavious in general.
Highly recommended!

Each spread in the book contains a bright, colorful page with a rule for good behavior accompanied by a colorful, giggle-inducing illustration that shows what happens when you DON'T use good manners. The book covers things like properly using supplies and respecting property, how to behave at lunch, and bathroom etiquette.
It lives up to its title--my kids were giggly as we read it. This is a fun way to remind kids about good manners, allowing you to get across the message without making it feel like a lecture.

I read a copy via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

While the Giggly Guide of How to Behave at School is very silly and is certain to make you giggle, it can be used to teach children valuable lessons in a fun way! The illustrations are adorable and sure to make you laugh as they contast what the stated appropriate behavior is! Kids will enjoy hearing this story over and over again, and will hopefully pick up some good behaviors along the way!

Every student should know the universal rules of school, such as don’t take more than you need in your backpack, screaming isn’t nice, don’t copy off others, etc. What I like most about this book is that one page has the rule, and the next page is an illustrated example of what NOT to do. And the illustrations are just so much fun. Choosing a favorite would be a decision I never want to make.

"The Giggly Guide of How to Behave at School" is a great book that kids will love. It does a great job of explaining to students how to behave at school. The illustrations are hilarious as they show what might happen if you don't follow the rule or display proper manners. This book covers some really important and basic safety rules, such as keeping your hands to yourself, not playing in the restroom, and sitting properly in your chair. There are also general behaviours such as not making fun of people that are different, walking in the halls and on stairs, and not playing with your food. As I mentioned above, the illustrations that accompany the text are bright and entertaining and are a great addition to the story! This book would be useful in home and school libraries where you can read about proper behaviour without sounding preachy and with the kids having some fun, that way they will remember better.

Mind Your Manners is a simple book for children which shows 44 simple rules for children to take note of for when they're at school. It may seem at school that there an overwhelming amount of rules, but this book puts them across in a fun and easy way. It shows how to be a good, well-behaved student by showing comical illustrations of what happens when you DON'T behave! A good all-round book for youngsters who are starting, or in school.

"The Giggly Guide of How to Behave at School" is a wonderful book that does a great job of explaining to students how to behave at school. This book covers some really good basic safety rules, like keeping your hands to yourself, not playing in the restroom, and asking for help to reach something on the top shelf. This book also addresses some other important school behaviors, such as not making fun of people that are different, walking in the halls, not chewing gum in class, and not copying other people's work. The illustrations that accompany the text are bright and entertaining and are a great addition to the story!
This book would be a great asset in the classroom while teaching students about how to behave at school (or refreshing their memories) in a fun and entertaining way! I found this book to be very informative and fun!
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to publication!

This is an appealing read aloud that focuses, as the title states, on how to behave at school. The illustrations are amusing and add to the messages in the text. A great way to review what is expected of your child without coming across as too preachy or strict. This book offers a delightful way to talk about manners and behavior.
