The Kids' Guide to Writing Great Thank-You Notes

by Jean Summers

This "how-to" for kids explains in a conversational tone why thank-you notes are important (and not just for those occasions when you get a gift), and teaches kids how to write them in five quick steps.

For kids stumped for inspiration, the book includes a dozen sample notes and a list of fifty adjectives to describe just about every gift. And it provides useful tips for sending a gracious note for every gift – even those which weren’t well received.

The Kids' Guide to Writing Great Thank-You Notes will help youngsters through every step of the process, from getting organized to keeping track of which cards have been written and mailed. There are even fill-in-the-blanks forms to get them going.
