Description
<p>"I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right." These are the magic words to call upon Manner-Man - a superhero who can help control bullies and teach children ways to be considerate of others. Manner-Man arrives, shouting "To the Rescue", helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out "not nice!" Meet the children who form the Manner-Man team and find out how to join! Manner-Man incorporates messages and characters found within some of Cannon's earlier books - helping children learn how to cope with bullies and look within themselves for their inner superhero! This is the fifth rhyming children's book by this award-winning author whose other bestselling books include Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won a dozen awards for her four previous rhyming books and is also the author of six published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called "a modern day Dr.Seuss" - GMTA Review. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>
Story Behind The Book
The beginning of this story is actually based on an experience I had at my last place of work. As the story goes on, I embellish and turn it into a real fantasy filled with magic, fairies and unicorns.

<p><em>Before I begin to refresh your memory about some of the options and available services here at Outskirts Press, I want to give you my overall impression of your work: You have a terrific writing style. You have obviously done a significant amount of planning and preparation in crafting your work. Your prose is nicely written with details that capture the reader. Right from the start your plot was very engaging and I really enjoyed the character you created in Destiny. You do a nice job of slowly making your way through the story with details and a certain voice that allows your reader to really interact with the characters (who are all round and very nicely developed). Characterization is one of the most important elements of a successful fiction story. I always love it when I leave a story feeling like I know the characters. This is true of your novel. You have crafted another quality piece of writing</em></p>
