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
Before I begin, I have to admit that I’m a tad bit of a GEEK. Besides spending lots of time at the gym, having extroverted tendencies, and having a natural inclination for anything that makes my heart skip a beat (i.e. skydiving and rock climbing), I’m a bit of NERD that spends hours upon hours (did I say hours?) in front of my laptop. Ok, in these times of Facebook and Twitter, who doesn’t? Well, I majored in Computer Science and wrote programs using Pascal in high school, not to mention Assembly Language in college. I should get TECH “CRED” just for mentioning Pascal/Assembly Language and being in my early thirties. Ok if that does not convince you, I think that the Intel commercial portraying Ajay Bhatt (the co-inventor of Universal Serial Bus or USB) as a Rock Star was brilliant.
