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
“Loved the playful voice, and going through Suzie Q’s journey. Laced with humor, it tickled me throughout. A fun, satisfying read, with bonus dance steps—liked the twist at the end! Keep the series coming.” <br /><em>— Jason Ancona, author of C.Y.A / Covert Youth Agency</em><br /><br />“Love the concept and the voice is very relatable...I was hooked, and Chester won [my] affections!”<br /><em>— Vanessa Di Gregorio, former intern @ The Rights Factory literary agency, March 2010</em><br /><br />“The characters are actually well developed...the story does keep moving along for the most part; there comes an interesting plot twist near the end which I completely did not expect and which gives the story more meaning.” <br /><em>— Kathy LaVergne, senior editor, May 2010</em>
