"Do you have to share all your toys? Is it okay to double dip a chip? How do you tell someone they have a phone call? Kids will laugh and learn the answers to these questions with this delightful DVD. Creatively structured like a game show, host Willy DoRight takes viewers through five categories of manners: mealtime, playtime, telephone, health and school. With real video vignettes and scenarios of everyday situations, each multiple choice answer encourages viewers to play along. This is a fun and accessible way to teach children that manners are more than just a bunch of stuffy rules!" (Learn 360).
