"Please" /books on manners?

[KyansMummsie]

Kyan's having a hard time understand we don't say "NOW!" we say "please". He has had the Thank You part down pat for about the last year. He said Thank you before a lot of key words for little kids.

It seems like he gets the message more by us reading books where it teaches little kids the right behavior. I was wondering if anyone could recommend good books about manners, sharing, and saying please. I've been browsing Amazon but I'd like someone's opinion or suggestions or recommendations.

Try browsing the book section at wal mart or a book store and read it before buying to see if he'll like it- sometimes they have ones with Disney or Sesame St. The best way I found for Ninga was to show him by example. When he gave stuff to me I'd say thanks and before he gave me something or I asked for it I'd say please. Darlin tried it with him too and it stuck in no time. But we find that we all need a reminder once in awile

We have a couple from this series, and these are the kids' favorites:

Amazon.com: Be Polite and Kind (Learning to Get Along): Cheri J. Meiners, Meredith Johnson: Books

Amazon.com: Understand and Care (Learning to Get Along, Book 3): Cheri J. Meiners: Books

Yeah, we're really good with saying "Thank you!" and "Please!" and making a big deal about it and he's always been really good with the Thank yous to the point it's a bit annoying. (He drives waitresses nuts saying thank you everytime they pass our table) and he's been okay with the Pleases but he's getting in this "NOW!" habit that we're not sure where it came from. I started watching his shows with him to see if maybe it was something he saw but all I could think of was that Caillou might be the culprit and he loves Caillou! But he's really good with learning from books better than from people or example. hence, my search.
