Guide to Social Manners – 5 Book Box Set for Kids (Ages 4-6)

Guide to Social Manners is a boxed set of 5 English board books that teaches young children good Islamic manners through everyday situations, one relationship at a time. Written for kids aged 4 to 6, the set includes My Family, My Relatives, My Neighbours, My Friends, and My Teachers — each a 24-page hardcover book at 15 x 15 cm, published by Darussalam.

What's Inside the Box

Each of the 5 books focuses on one group of people a child interacts with regularly, using short, simple sentences and colourful illustrations a young reader (or a parent reading aloud) can follow easily. My Friends shows a child visiting and praying for a sick friend, and not overstaying a visit out of respect for others' time. My Neighbours teaches children not to litter in a neighbour's yard. My Relatives shows a family visiting relatives regularly and bringing along a small gift to share. My Teachers reflects on how teachers tell stories, teach manners, and help children learn new things like colours, shapes, and letters. Across the set, children are also taught to say sorry when they make a mistake, regardless of who is older or younger.
