Tony Ross, Say Please. 28pp/Kane Miller Book Publishers 2006 ISBN 1-933605-16-2
$4.95 (Preschool)
Like so many children, Little Princess is learning to make use of her manners. Through repetitive reminders of etiquette, Little Princess displays triumphantly what she has learned by the end of the story line (“Say Please!”). Ross’ simple one-sentence structures on each page keep young readers on task. With his characteristic style, Ross (I Don’t Want To Go To Bed!) weaves mirrored childhood-like moments through his humorous and child-like paintings. He touches on the sensitivity of childhood through the use of softly colored paintings. This book is an excellent showcase of the relativity to childhood through subject matter as well as through the soft artwork.
