3 | '''''Achoo!''''' is a kids' book by Mij Kelly, using the Suzy-Sue character from ''Literature/HaveYouSeenMyPotty'' and ''Literature/ABedOfYourOwn''. |

5 | In it, Suzy-Sue sneezes without covering her mouth. The animals take offence at this and teach her how to politely sneeze, along with other etiquette tips. |
6 | |
7 | They also bathe the dog, teach the pigs to avert GluttonousPig and MessyPig, and teach the cats not to fight. This causes a conflict, however, as the cats were only playing tug-of-war and the rest don't like how the cow spoke to them. |

10 | !!This book provides examples of: |
11 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: |
12 | ** The goat wears a collar. |
13 | ** When the pigs are being taught table manners, they wear bibs. |
14 | * AnAesop: This book is meant to teach children about manners. |
15 | * CatsAreMean: Subverted. Six cats appear to be fighting, but they're only playing tug-of-war. |
16 | * CivilisedAnimal: Taken quite literally. The animals may live on a farm, but they also eat at a table, read, and care an awful lot about dignity. |
17 | * DiseasePreventionAesop: Downplayed. One of the story's lessons is to cover one's mouth while sneezing, but Suzy-Sue wasn't sick; she only had allergies, and the book is mainly about manners and general and teaches many different lessons. |
18 | * DoubleAesop: The cow teaches the others not to be rude, but also learns a lesson in manners herself. |
19 | * GluttonousPig: The pigs are seen eating ravenously and messily. |
20 | * InterspeciesFriendship: The animals are described as Suzy-Sue's friends. |
21 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The cow can be a bit blunt with her descriptions of the other animals' misbehaviour, but she means well. |
22 | * JokeAndReceive: The animals hyberbolically wonder if Suzy-Sue was born in a zoo due to having no manners. At the end of the book, it's revealed that she ''was''. |
23 | * MessyPig: The pigs on the farm are messy eaters and even wallow around in their food. |
24 | * PlotAllergy: The reason Suzy-Sue sneezed and started the plot was because she was allergic to a flower she sniffed. The dog also appears to have hay fever as he's seen with a runny nose but otherwise appears fine. |
25 | * SilentTreatment: The cats threaten to stop speaking to the other animals for breaking their tug-of-war rope. |
26 | * StinkSnub: When the cow starts talking about manners, she claims the dog smells bad, so she and the goat bathe the dog. |
