Tea for Ruby

 Shirley J.           Juvenile Fiction                 Being polite, practicing your manners and tea with the Queen

Tea for Ruby by Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York     40 pages

Ruby has impeccable manners.   She is polite to a fault.   Etiquette is her favorite thing and always doing just the right thing the right way pleases her ever so much.    When Ruby receives an invitation to have tea with the Queen she especially wants to polish up her poise to be on point!   She practices all her good behaviors  being the best possible person she can be to everyone she encounters.    She curtseys, she inquires as to others health, she listens, she bows, she does her best to mimic the proper princess moves and attitudes she has observed in order to prove herself worthy to the Queen when she attends the tea she has been invited to.   She cannot wait!    A sweet story of a little girl trying to be her very best self.   I recommend this one to listeners up to 8 year olds.
