“A charming introduction to one of my favourite restaurants and to the fine art of good behaviour. This enchanting book serves up delightful illustrations with a generous dollop of humor.”

Martha Stewart, entrepreneur

“I’ve always believed that dogs have the best lives – and Wiggens has the best of all. Dining at the Four Seasons, as well as teaching good manners to all. Now, if I could just get Wiggens to recommend a bottle of wine…”

Tom Brokaw, television journalist

“The best dog-gone way to learn manners. This is a real tail wagger.”

Tim Zagat, CEO, Zagat Survey

“Wiggens shows us the way to good manners and acts of kindness. This is required reading not only for kids but for grownups too.”

Pamela Fiori, editor in chief, Town & Country

“With the arrival of Wiggens Learns His Manners, every kid will now be able to say, “Everything I ever needed to know about good manners, I learned at the Found Seasons.”

Dick Parsons, chairman of Citigroup
