Book of Bad Manners

Laura Teste

In the first of this series, Jazz’s older brother plays the straight man during the evening’s antics in Book of Bad Manners. Jazz and her Uncle Mark one up each other’s bad manners during Uncle Mark’s dinner while her older brother stews over the full report expected by their mom. Culminating in the best worst bad manner, this book is sure to be either the most refreshing or most raucous story on the bookshelf. 
Spattered with irreverence and touched with ingenuity, this illustrated series featuring Jazz and her older brother has the feel of an instant classic. Gratefully, Laura Teste, in her author-illustrator debut, has included tongue-in-cheek nods to the lucky adults in the room. For the inquisitive-can’t-sit-still children, her series is sure to capture their attention and whet their appetite for more. 
I can confidently promise that you cannot imagine all the bad manners displayed by the characters in this short book. The plot was simply ingenious. – Five Star Review by Readers’ Favorites
