What is Be Nice about?

Brian Boddington is not very good at being nice. He grabs, interrupts, takes things that do not belong to him and forgets to think about other people's feelings. His family soon decides that Brian needs to learn a lesson about manners. As events unfold, he begins to understand why kindness, politeness, sharing and respect matter. With lively illustrations and plenty to discuss, this story encourages young readers to reflect on their own behaviour and discover how small acts of consideration can make a big difference.
