The Thank You Book for Kids: Hundreds of Creative, Cool, and Clever Ways to Say Thank You!

Written in a nice tone, this book offers lots of creative ideas and encourages kids to say thank-you in different ways. It also offers some suggestions for wording thank-you notes, one of the stumbling blocks for children just learning to write them. We paired the book with a pack of thank-you notes in a style matching the book's cover for a set.

This was a Christmas gift for a 12 year old grandson who nearly always forgot to say "thank you" whenever we sent him gifts for birthday, Easter, Christmas, etc. I think it did the trick, as he made sure to call after Christmas to tell us "thank you" for his gifts.

I have mentioned this book on my Manners radio show as an example for introducing thank you practices to young people. Well done. Interesting and instructional in a friendly and conversational way. I recommend it.

Niece and nephews don't know how to say thank you

I don't want to say this is a useless book. I can see it being a good resource for educators, or an offer to a kid who knows/wants to write thank you notes but struggles...but, I have to say, it makes an awful gift.I recently had my nephew given this as a gift, and it came across as an insult, as though he were rude. It was insulting to him and insulting to his guardians. I don't know why you'd think a slight like that would be appropriate as a shaming thing as a gift in front of friends and family at a special time like Christmas. Please no one else buy this for that purpose.

This book warms my heart because it can enlighten people that saying thank you means a lot more than people generally think. Also, that there are so many different ways to thank someone; a letter or a phone call isn't always the most creative way to thank someone. Ali shows her readers that there are so many different ways to thank someone!THANK YOU Ali for this book!<3 Micah

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!

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.
