Description

<p>&quot;I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right.&quot; 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 &quot;To the Rescue&quot;, helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out &quot;not nice!&quot; 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 &quot;a modern day Dr.Seuss&quot; - GMTA Review. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>

<p class="style6">&quot;Allison it's impressive. Pithy. Funny. On target... a great rev up - everyone'll buy one for their boss!!!&quot; <em><span class="style28 style6">(He ordered 45 copies for his international senior management team!)</span></em><strong>Kevin Roberts, Worldwide CEO,<span class="style29"><font color="#ff0000"> Saatchi &amp; Saatchi</font></span></strong> </p> <p class="style6 style28">&quot;Almost every client I work with wants to work for a boss who sets clear goals, gives meaningful feedback, and lets workers get on with their jobs. This book is a helpful reminder that most problems of motivation and talent retention can only be addressed by making better managers. It improves self-awareness and shows you how to make a real impact in the workplace - I recommend it.&quot; <strong>John Lees, <span class="style29"><font color="#ff0000">author of </font></span></strong><a href="http://www.johnleescareers.com/books.asp"><strong>How To Get A Job You'll Love</strong></a><br /><br />&quot;Your book kicked ass!&quot; <strong>Scott Ginsberg, &quot;that guy with the nametag&quot;</strong><span class="style29"></span><strong><span class="style29"><font color="#ff0000">author of seven books including </font><a href="http://www.hellomynameisscott.com/default.aspx?SiteArea=substore1">HELLO, my name is Scott</a><font color="#ff0000"> + </font><a href="http://www.hellomynameisscott.com/default.aspx?SiteArea=substore1">The Power of Approachability</a></span></strong></p> <p class="style6">&quot;If you want success in management then this blueprint will be invaluable.&quot; <strong>Carey Smith, CEO, <span class="style29"><font color="#ff0000">Ray White Real Estate + Author of </font><a href="http://www.careysmith.com/thebook/">Deliver</a></span></strong></p> <p class="style6">&quot;A useful collation of tips to understand your workplace better.&quot; <strong>Peter Townsend, CEO, <span class="style29"><font color="#ff0000">Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce <br /></font></span></strong><br />β€œI found the book to be refreshing and very clear in its message.”<strong>Martyn Dawson, Group General Manager, <span class="style29"><font color="#ff0000">Armstrong Motor Group </font></span></strong></p> <p class="style6" align="left">β€œI like the book a lot!
