Mind Your Manners

Mind Your Manners is a recount by Marvellous Millie about her determination to help Grocer Grocer save his store when a supermarket opens down the street.  A glamourous but rude marketing executive has a lot to offer, but Millie insists she mind her manners.  The style is friendly and conversational.

The text is composed of a variety of sentence types.  Illustrations support the text but not all events are illustrated.  The book concludes with a two-page spread that tells how to write a recount.

Some words may require clarification: speedster, scaled, stunning, trade, fossicked, tatty, database.  Similes: as if I were a piece of week-old fish, as worried as a chicken about to cross the road at rush hour.  Alliteration: Marvellous Millie, Grocer Grocer.  Sayings: shan’t be a tick, under the weather.
