Eleven-year-old Simon has been taught always to be polite, but in Aunt Mattie and Uncle Philbert's house, the rules are different. Even the animals including-a loudmouthed parrot and llmas named Mr. Rude, Mr. Crude, and Mr. Ugly say and do as they please. Aunt Mattie and Uncle Philbert tell Simon that good manners in their house mean thinking for yourself, saying what you think, interrupting-and burping when you feel like it.

Simon is having a wonderful visit with his aunt and uncle, but what's going to happen when he tries out his new good manners at home?
