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>
