Thank You for the Thank You Book

Unfortunately, most kids today don't read OR send thank you notes. One day, when the older generations are reminiscing about how they used to receive so many great birthday and Christmas/Hannukah gifts from extended family and friends, they'll scratch their heads and wonder why nobody sends them gifts anymore.

Two Words for this Much Needed Book - Thank You

Look forward to more from this author! As always, thank you.

Sometimes it seems as if in this 21st Century America, the practice of writing thank you notes has gone the way of buggy whips. Enter Jean Summers' thoroughly "kid friendly" how-to manual, The Kids' Guide To Writing Great Thank You Notes. The author aptly covers why we write thank you notes, who gets them, and deals with the most common objections kids have to writing thank you notes. From the salutation to a thematically appropriate list of thank you note adjectives, to applicable examples for the most universal occasions, The Kids' Guide To Writing Great Thank You Notes takes children (and their parents!) through an enthusiastically recommended, step-by-step process that will soon have the kids up to speed on the art of saying thank you for the gifts, services, and help that they receive from family and friends.

Bring kids up right...

Jean Summers has written a lovely book teaching kids the etiquette and how-to of thank-you notes. I think this book could accompany presents to young recipients. This is a good book to read to young kids as young as 5-6 or to encourage older kids to read on their own (8-10.) The author is bringing what is becoming a lost art back into our lives. Good for you Jean!
