Rhino Learns to be Polite - A book about good manners - Author Sue Graves

A playful and engaging story about manners, kindness, and learning to be considerate.

Rhino is loud, messy, and not very polite — especially at the dinner table! But when his bad manners start to push his friends away, Rhino begins to realise that saying “please” and “thank you” might matter more than he thought. With a little help, he learns how small changes can make a big difference in his friendships.

This delightful story introduces young children to the value of good manners and respectful behaviour. Includes activity suggestions and thoughtful conversation starters to support emotional and social learning at home or in the classroom.

Why we — and schools — like it:

• Encourages polite behaviour in a gentle and relatable way.
• Reinforces the importance of empathy and positive social interactions.
• Ideal in supporting PSHE and personal development in Early Years and Key Stage 1.
