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.

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!
