How to be a person : 65 hugely useful, super-important skills to learn before you're grown up

160 pages : illustrations (some color), color maps ; 23 cm.

Becoming your best self -- Other beings -- Saying it right -- Dirty things -- Edible food -- You're wearing that? -- Your two cents -- Useful skills.

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, humorous writer and etiquette columnist Catherine Newman has created the ultimate guidebook to becoming a person whom everyone will like being around more. 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 free themselves from parental nagging and become more dependable -- and they'll like themselves better, too! They'll learn how to deal with dirty rooms, care for pets and cactuses, stick up for somebody, and fold a T-shirt. They'll even get a crash course on 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 valued and valuable member of the grown-up world.

Catherine Newman has written the ultimate guidebook for kids, jam-packed with tips, tricks, and skills to become a more dependable person.
