How Rude

Book Synopsis

Join Dot and Duck in a simple, yet hilarious, story about kindness, manners and friendship that gets more and more chaotic with every turn of the page!

Dot invites Duck to a tea party, but from the moment Duck enters the house, the tea party descends into chaos; from licking sandwich fillings to spitting tea, Duck gets ruder… and ruder… and ruder. Just how will Dot react to such outrageous behaviour?

Simple, funny and ultimately touching, this book will appeal to any child who is learning what it is not to be rude and, more importantly, what it is to be a true friend.

Our Review Panel says...

If it’s not too cheeky to sneak in a couple of my own titles, Dot and Duck in the ‘How’ series have an extremely testing relationship that all siblings will be able to relate to. I’m often asked where I came up with the ideas for ‘How Selfish’ and ‘How Rude’. I tell people that with two brothers, two children and ten years’ teaching experience, I didn’t need to look too far for inspiration! What is empowering about these books, is that both characters are equally as bad as each other but work out the right way to behave in the end.
