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>
Reviews
<p style="color:#111111;">Appealing characters and lively dialogue, especially in the courtroom, make this an easy, entertaining read.<em><strong><font color="#ffcc00"> Publisher's Weekly</font></strong></em></p>
<p>Like "Undaunted" and "Brash Endeavor," "Second Chair" takes the reader for the ride of their life. Manchee's command of the justice system, added to his experiences in court and with clients, makes for a good read. <em>--<font color="#ffcc00"><strong>Barbara Quigley, Norman Transcript</strong></font></em> </p>
<p>Manchee's story is a page turner. He manages to keep the reader's interest with a serpentine plot and realistic dialogue. . . . Manchee's fictional lawyer always wins the war, but he does lose battles, which makes him a believable character. <font color="#ffcc00"><em><strong>Betty Bettacchi, Richardson News</strong></em></font></p>
<p>Manchee, an attorney, spins a good plot, playing out the scenes slowly so the reader is caught in the what-comes-next trap. Richly textured with wonderful atmosphere, the novel shows Manchee as a smooth, polished master of the mystery form. <font color="#ffcc00"><em><strong>The Book Reader</strong></em></font></p>
