Aug. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- BIRMINGHAM, AL- – Birmingham, AL resident, Antonee Boykin, introduces characters Alex and Tony to the children’s literary world in Alex and Tony Learn to be Gentlemen.  This Mobile, AL native and first-time published author, tells a story of two brothers learning by example the importance of behaving as gentlemen in this series opening children’s book.
   
Alex and Tony are observant, impressionable twin brothers who have an affinity for learning.  Their parents, who the children admire and from where they acquire knowledge, are excellent examples of the saying, “parents are their child’s first teacher.” The author has created a mother and father who demonstrate a priority to display positive, imitable behavior, as to not only influence their children through their words, but actions as well.

One morning, Tony decided to ask their father why he always gets a chair for their mother before she sits at the breakfast table.  Through his explanation, Alex and Tony both learn a valuable lesson about what it means to be a gentleman. Later that day at school, the boys are presented with an opportunity to transform their father’s words into action.

Alex and Tony Learn to be Gentlemen serves as a great teaching tool for children of both genders.  With a lesson-filled storyline and vibrant illustrations, this book is a must have for every child’s library.
