Another great Jim Henson Muppet book! Wonderful, colorful illustrations of the Muppets as kids. Gonzo decides to takes his pet rock to show and tell. All morning he is rude and thoughtless to his family, thinking only of himself. On the bus he is rude to his friends. His teacher Mr. Fozzie bear even gets on to him for being rude. He has a dream where everyone is rude to him and he gets a taste of his own medicne. When he wakes up he realizes how important good manners are.
I liked this book because of the way it didn't just tell what good manners are but it shows the children how it feels like when others are rude to us.
Questions at the end help discuss this in a way children can understand.
