Updated for the 21st century, How to Speak Politely and Why is a picture book with a point: proper speech and good grammar without nagging. In his signature style of amusing stick figure drawings and captions, Leaf makes clear such things as the difference between can and may, and the reason why one does not say 'he done it' or 'she come.' It is a perfect guide for children to discover that learning to speak politely and correctly isn't such a chore after all.
Wilbur Monroe Leaf was an American writer of children's literature who wrote and illustrated nearly 40 books during his 40-year career. He is best known for The Story of Ferdinand (1936), a children's classic which he wrote on a yellow legal-length pad in less than an hour. Labeled as subversive, it stirred an international controversy.
