5.0 out of 5 stars The Thank You Book for Kids, August 30, 2001

A great big THANK YOU to Ali Spizman for taking the time to remind all of us the importance of saying "Thank you". Being an elementary school librarian, I originally bought this book as a reference for my students. I soon found, however, that it was a great inspiration to me personally. Ali includes a tremendous variety of clever ways to make the often dull task of writing thank-you notes into an exciting exercise in creativity. This book should be required reading for all ages!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for families!, July 12, 2001

As a mom of two young boys, I probably say thank you and remind someone else to say it about 50 times a day. It was so refreshing to read the words of a young woman who obviously knows the true meaning of the word and took the time to share her beautiful thoughts with others. It's also a fun read for parents and kids, filled with great ideas and a personal touch because the author includes letters she wrote to thank her friends, teachers, and even famous people (who were gracious enough to write back). After a long day of balancing work and family, this book really made my evening and is one I know we'll keep and use forever! I highly recommend it to other parents too.

Anyone whose like me and has worked with kids before will appreciate this book! The Thank You Book for Kids is definitely, without a doubt, the best resource on the planet when it comes to thoughtfulness and saying thank you! Whether your child has to write a thank you note or is just at a loss for words, there is something for everyone to gain from The Thank You Book. I loved how the book covered so many different areas of thanks-from designing your own thank you notes, to the steps of writing a super thank you note, to creative closings, to fantastic example letters- each page is a new idea. Letters from famous people, asking if rock stars say thank you- the entire book is full of fun ways to say thank you that I had never imagined before! It is a must have for all children and will have friends, teachers, parents, and grandparents all saying Thank You Ali Spizman!
