Jackie French was one of my favourite writers, but now she is my favourite because after reading BIG BURPS, BARE BUMS AND OTHER BAD-MANNERED BLUNDERS I fell in love with her books.

The reason why I love this book is because it is funny, true and I could
really relate to some of the situations in the book as they occur in our
house every day. It provides tips in a humorous way on how to behave.

I would recommend this book to ages from 8-12 because I’m 11 and I loved it and was easy to read and the font was just the right size. My favourite
section was HOW TO EAT WATERMELON POLITELY, because it is true that watermelon is a very messy thing to eat.
