About this listen

In the cheerful town of Too-Roo, where the skies shine bright and neighbors always wave hello, lives a little girl named Alana. Taught by her wise and loving Gran, Alana discovers that small words, like “Please,” “Thank You,” “Hello,” and even a big, joyful “How-Do-You-Do!”, are more than just words. They are magic.

As Alana journeys through her colorful town, she meets playful characters and tricky situations that put her manners to the test. From the Wiggles who wiggle impatiently at the Ice Creamy Hut, to the noisy library crowd, to the Chewer Crew chomping loudly at dinner, Alana shows that kindness and patience can shine through in every moment. She shares chairs with friends, takes turns with the Turn-Taker Twins, and even turns messy noodle chaos into a moment of grace.

Everywhere she goes, Alana proves that respect, sharing, patience, and care make the world brighter. With each polite word and thoughtful action, she doesn’t just make life better for herself, she inspires others to do the same.

Finally, under the glow of stage lights and a sky filled with sparkling fireworks, Alana shares her lesson with everyone: magic words live inside us all. When we use them with kindness, they open doors, mend mistakes, and spread joy far and wide.

Please, Thank You, and the Great Big How-Do-You-Do is a heartwarming, rhyming tale that shows children the power of manners, kindness, and respect, turning simple words into everyday magic.
