"No matter where you are or who you are, there are four main things that you have to do if you want to make good friends and keep them.

Originally intended for the very young, but with meaning for us all, How To Behave and Why is a true classic, charmingly illustrated with childlike drawings, and with a timeless message. It is a sure guide for teaching children (and adults) how to behave. .
