Additional features to aid comprehension include a table of contents, a section on using respectful words, a S.T.E.A.M. activity, a phonetic glossary, sources for further research including web sites, an index, and an introduction to the author. It's time to brush up on respect! Take readers on a journey with a lively cast of characters as they learn about respect and why it's important to respect parents, peers, the environment, and more!
