Mary Louise Loses Her Manners — Diane Cuneo

One morning, after some particularly shocking--but awfully funny--breakfast behavior, Mary Louise realizes that she has lost her manners. I've paid so little attention to them, she thinks, that they've up and run away! She has no choice but to begin a search mission.

From a neighborhood restaurant to a doctor's office, past a hot dog vendor then a street musician, and even into the library, Mary Louise tries to find her manners. Instead she ends up making more trouble everyplace she goes. Have her manners deserted her forever?
