In this sequel to "What Do You Say, Dear?", youngsters will once again find themselves identifying with characters engaged in a series of imaginary predicaments, where good manners are not only appropriate but essential.

You are in the library reading a book when suddenly you are lassoed by Bad-Nose Bill. "I've got you,' he says, "and I'm taking you to my ranch, pronto. Now get moving."

What do you do, dear?*

This and the other social predicaments described in this book are written with humor by Sesyle Joslin and illustrated engagingly by Maurice Sendak. They can be shared with children by all parents (and grandparents, uncles, aunts, teachers, and librarians) who believe that good manners imply a concern for others and are, therefore, essential to our way of life.

*Walk through the library quietly so as not to disturb others.
