The month kicks off with the Please, Mr. Panda Storytime on Saturday, January 10, at 11 a.m. Barnes & Noble’s first Picture Book of the Month Storytime, this witty picture book from author/illustrator Steve Antony focuses on the importance of manners. In this new favorite tale, Mr. Panda patiently and politely offers a variety of animals he comes across if they would like a doughnut. All respond with “yes,” but Mr. Panda goes on his way, until he meets a ring-tailed lemur who's aware of the power of politeness. This fun read delivers a creative way to encourage children to say, “Please” and “Thank you.” Activities will round out the fun.
