Webster, Kyle T.

Please Say Please!

(3) PS Each of a girl's demands (e.g., "I want a CAT. I want a CAT!") is met with rhymed resistance ("Sorry--I can't respond to that!") by a mustachioed master-of-ceremonies type. When the girl says the magic word, he gives her more than she asks for (e.g., a tiger). With snappy rhymes and winsome art, this etiquette lesson wisely doesn't advertise itself as such.
