Synopsis
In this book you’ll find 26 children who are almost certainly nothing like you. You always eat your peas and say please. You, unlike Oscar, would never tell lies. And in your wildest dreams you wouldn’t play with your food the way Nancy does. But even the sweetest child can be tempt-ed to behave badly. Thankfully, Dan Krall has put together this collection to remind us just how unpleasant beastly behavior can be.Excerpt
A is for Andy who won’t eat his peas.B is for Becky who cannot say please.
C is for Cletus who writes on the walls.
D is for Deon who won’t come when he’s called.
E is for Esther. She won’t wash her hands.
F is for Florence, the Queen of Demands.
G is for Gertrude who stays up too late.
H is for Hameed who won’t wash his plate.
I is for Isaac who cries all the time.
J is for Jeffrey. He knows how to whine.
