Bookroo's summary

Cecily Beasley never says please or thank you, and her rude antics know no bounds. But when her face freezes mid-tantrum, a bird nests on her tongue! As the chicks hatch, Cecily faces a hilarious predicament that might just teach her the value of manners. Will she learn her lesson before it's too late? Dive into this whimsical tale of comeuppance and transformation.

From the publisher

Cecily Beasley is never polite–she won’t say thank you, please, or goodnight. She slurps her food, refuses to share, and sticks her tongue out everywhere. But this rude little girl gets her comeuppance in this rambunctious, rhyming picture book that makes its point with irresistible humor. Every child has heard the words, “Don’t make that face. It might freeze that way!” Well, that’s exactly what happens to Cecily–and to make things worse, a bird builds a nest on her outstretched tongue! But only when the chicks hatch will Cecily finally learn a lesson she’ll never forget.
