Monster Etiquette Book

Shipping and taxes calculated at checkout. Free U.S. shipping on orders over $200.

Description
We are surrounded by rude, loud, smelly, selfish creatures who don’t know how to behave. Don Moyer decided to do something about it. This book offers 50 principles to help the ill-mannered behave with civility and grace.

Each of the captions in this book is a small poem. It has been said that a good poem helps change the shape of the universe. Well these aren’t that kind of poem, but they get the job done and may make you smile.

As a public service, Don illustrated these principles to make them vivid and easy to remember. Also, it was an excuse for Don to draw strange creatures doing rude things.

Hardcover book written and illustrated by Don Moyer.

Sixty-eight black and white pages plus color end sheets and a color dust jacket. Some say this book is not appropriate for children...or prudes.

Great reminders for all the "boys" in my house!

I purchased this cute little book as a fun "etiquette" study for my pre-teen son. The writing and images are a perfectly fun way to passively teach acceptable social behavior, while not "lecturing". He has found it amusing, and accepts the "teachings" as logical. BUT, since the COVID virus outbreak, I've found some of the older "boys" in the house needed some firm reminders about cleanliness! Particularly, washing hands! Not wanting to become the CLUCKING MOTHER HEN...and cause more uncomfortable strife in the already stressed confines of quarantine....I made a "cute reminder" using a few photocopies...and posted it at the sink. It worked wonders, with no spoken words! (other than, "cute picture, Mom") The pre-teen said that photo reminds him of the imprtance EVERY time he uses the bathroom! (photo of my make-shift reminder included).

Hilarious Tips

I threw a party and this one of the prizes that could be won. Many of the guests started reading different pages out loud to the group and commenting how, yes, society does need this book because some things are inexcusable in public!

Not really for 5 year olds

This book is a little too mature for my 5 year old grandson. It has jokes about staring at breasts and crotches and other sexual & crude references. It would be fine for teenagers & above. The book is gift size & format, slightly bigger than a post card.

Tiny book, like the delicious artisan cocktail at a fancy joint that makes you wonder why you paid so much for such a small drink but after you finish it the world is a brighter, happier place where tiny books like this one belong under every Christmas tree.

Great little book. Very entertaining. Bought it for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it. First edition arrived damaged, but folks at Calamity Ware sent out a replacement immediately. Super company. Thanks, Guys and girls!

Monsters? They may be more trainable than most Americans

While the etiquette advice in Monster Etiquette may not be ground-breaking, it is definitely advice well-taken by monsters of every variety, even human ones.

Don's illustrations make the work worth every penny. I heartily recommend this small tome!

What Every Monster Should Read.

So well written that everyone could understand the importance of "make sense" common courtesies. The illustrations were so wonderful, that I couldn't wait to turn the page!

Perfect for the Littlest of Monsters

People are horribly bad mannered. Nobody wants to learn etiquette from humans. Bought this little gem of wisdom to read to my granddaughter. Illustrations are brilliant, as usual. Witty, humorous. Perfect gift size.

Great things come in small packages. I found the book very entertaining! I'm hoping that we don't actually need it as a textbook in the future, but if we do, OK.
