What to say and When to say it

This vintage Bill Martin Jr. title uses simple, rhyming captions paired with humorous cartoons to explore social etiquette in absurd scenarios. Rather than providing direct answers, it encourages young readers to think about appropriate reactions to unusual situations, from encountering a bear to seeing a friend fall. The book's strength lies in its playful approach to a foundational social skill, making it an engaging read-aloud that sparks imagination and conversation. It's ideal for preschoolers and early elementary children who are beginning to understand social norms and enjoy a good laugh.
