Danny Katz and Mitch Vane, the hilarious duo behind the Little Lunch series, are at it again and this time they’ve written a picture book to help you with your manners. No Thanks Hanks is a collection of brightly illustrated poems and stories aimed at four and ups, offering advice on how to act politely with a healthy dose of humour to get the message across.

In the titular ‘No Thanks Hanks’, Hank and Hank are two boys who refuse to say thank you. Eventually their parents get so fed up that they decide to stop giving them things. Will the two Hanks learn their lesson? ‘Dos and Don’ts’ is a lyrical poem about toilet etiquette that will have young readers in hysterics. And ‘Pass the Parcel, Purdy’ is the tale of a girl who refuses to play fair in her own party games, until eventually everyone goes home.

These tales contain amusing and pointed reminders that it always pays to be polite, and will get the message across loud and clear.
