In an ever-changing world, good manners never go out of style. These essential skills and tips will help you all aspects as you grow into womanhood.

Good manners are not just a quaint and old-fashioned concept. They're an essential aspect of every young lady's path to adulthood. It's safe to say that today's young woman is exposed to more opportunities than any generation of women in history, and these essential guidelines created by author Kay West will help parents ensure that their daughters grow up to succeed in any situation.

In 50 Things Every Young Lady Should Know, you will learn about:

Making conversation with adults
Accepting a gift you don't like
Dressing appropriately
Winning and losing graciously
Writing a thank-you note
While the formal rules of etiquette are not taught the way they once were, 50 Things Every Young Lady Should Know provides a modern take on the ageless idea that girls should know appropriate and courteous responses to any given situation.

This updated guide to traditional standards of behavior proves that manners never go out of style--they're a crucial skillset that a young girl needs to excel in whatever she chooses to do.

This hilarious and adorable collection of cats highlights the quirky behaviors of your favorite furry friends.

They leave dead animals on your doorstep. They intentionally knock everything off of your countertops. They leave scratch marks on your nice furniture and attack your calf muscles. They sleep on your laptop when you're using it. They somehow get hair on every single article of clothing you own, and then some. They are the epitome of sass and poise. But behind that aloof personality and penetrating stare are the wonderful cats we all love. This book chronicles the baffling behavior and ever-changing attitudes of these fuzzy felines with 50 comical photographs and illustrations. From cats who think they're mountain lions to the ones who are plotting to take over the world, the temperaments of these grumpy and (somewhat) affectionate animals will be recognized by cat lovers everywhere. Whether you have a cat who is capable of incredible feats of acrobatics, or one who makes a habit of crashing straight into walls (or one who does both just a few minutes apart), this book captures the secret inner workings of your cat's brain. Purr-fect for crazy cat parents and anyone else who is owned by a cat, these lovable, playful, ridiculous, and slightly unhinged cats will have all readers laughing.
