Publisher's Description of Caleb Finds His Treasure (Manners are Homemade)
Caleb
works hard to remember to say "please" and "thank you," and not to ask
for candy when visiting the neighbors. His older brothers Andrew and Ben
each have a treasure to show Daddy. I wish I could find a treasure, Caleb
thinks. Then he finds something special outside in a pile of leaves. He
puts it in his pocket to keep it safe until he can show Daddy what he
found. After he loses the treasure, Caleb thanks God when it reappears
in a very unusual place.
This is the third book in the Manners are Homemade series.
In the Manners are Homemade series, young Caleb
encounters many situations where he needs to put his manners into practice.
Young children will relate to Caleb’s struggle to be polite when he’d rather be
selfish. Throughout each book, his mother’s sweet and gentle guidance helps
Caleb learn valuable lessons about treating people with our best “homemade
manners.” ~ Tara
