Age: Preschool-1st grade

I do wish they made Mary Lyn Ray's books bigger because they are perfect for storytime! This one starts off strong by reassuring children (and parents) that thank you isn't just for learning manners.

"It's also for when something wakes a little hum--a happy little hum--inside you and you want to answer back."

A delightful collection of everyday instances (zipping a coat, bubble baths) and special events (parades, family parties) that children hold near-and-dear to their hearts.
