I Want My Dinner
It's great to meet the Little Princess again and this time to witness her lesson on manners. Her 'I want' demands are consistently met with prompts of 'Please' from the Queen, the General and other familiar characters - watch the cat! Older children, as well as younger ones, love to join in with the prompting and teaching, not realising how much they're reminding themselves of their manners, too. There's more fun and a wonderful complacency when the Little Princess herself confidently adopts the teacher role and, what's more, insists that the big and hungry 'Beastie' says 'Thank you'. Totally brilliant - just like I Want My Potty and I Want To Be.
