Nose picking? Nail biting? Wiping dirty hands on clothes? Before you call them “bad manners,” consider the compelling reasons that may be behind these behaviors. For instance: Jumping on the bed is great practice for when the road becomes a trampoline! Not being able to sit still might actually be the chair’s fault! And what better way to train for the International Straw Chewing Contest than by chewing on straws? This laugh-out-loud picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake unpacks the reasons behind a variety of relatable behaviors. Clever and creative, it will inspire children and parents alike to expand their powers of reason and view their own habits in a new, humorous, and―most importantly―forgiving light. After all, there’s an explanation for everything!
