3'''''Achoo!''''' is a kids' book by Mij Kelly, using the Suzy-Sue character from ''Literature/HaveYouSeenMyPotty'' and ''Literature/ABedOfYourOwn''.
4
5In 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
7They 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.
