Product Description:
When Harry and Kate learn they are going to a tea party with their grandparents, they are very excited. A brief etiquette session with Dorothea Johnson gives them the skills they need to enjoy an afternoon tea with friends of all ages. They learn how to shake hands, introduce themselves, pick up a napkin, eat a scone and drink tea from a proper cup. The children think of several "magic words" that they can use to show they are polite and have good manners - "please," "thank you," "may I," and "you're welcome."

A guest tea blender, John Harney, makes an appearance at the tea party where he shares a bit of tea history. They learn that tea originated in China and has been enjoyed for thousands of years.

Grandparents, parents, and children will find this book a valuable resource for learning about good manners, good tea, and good tea time recipes.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Children's Tea & Etiquette is highly recommended as an instructional tool
Children's Tea & Etiquette: Brewing Good Manners in Young Minds is more than a simple picturebook - it is a thoughtful etiquette manual to instruct readers in how to properly enjoy afternoon tea. Many of the social graces discussed extend into the practice of the general world. From basic polite phrases such as "please", "thank you", "may I", and "you're welcome", to what RSVP means, to table manners for a tea party (such as not picking up one's napkin until the host has), to the importance of ...
