"Children are taught when and where to "say the magic words." But what do expressions such as please, thank you, I'm sorry, and I love you really mean? With delightful lyricism this book distills the big ideas behind some of the tiny courtesies that help us through the day. "Please" becomes a magic key that opens most doors, and "I love you " sings like a beautiful song for two."--Publisher.
