Welcome! We were supposed to have been yesterday's stop on this World of Ink book blog tour, but due to the wonderful efficiency of the US Post Office, we didn't get our review copy in time! Thanks to the wonderful internet and PDF files, we were able to read it this am, so here's out review a day late!
Synopsis: Good Table Manners Made Easy is a quick, easy-to-read resource that teaches basic table manners in a delightful fun way. It also serves as a quick refresher for the table manners that we may have forgotten.

Review: This is a great little book of simple manners, dining norms, cutlery placement and simple conversation tips! It would be wonderful for say a Brownie troop, summer camp, or even just for Mom to go over with her kids! The conversation tips are great for adults too, and the book handles a heavy subject lightly and in a way that kids can understand. I liked how she tells kids to not say food is yucky/gross, as it could hurt the CHEF'S feelings! Making kids rethink that people are in restaurants cooking their food, is great in reinforcing manners. A lot of what is in the book we've taught Kiddo from an early age, but it's great to have it all in one small book, that she can share with her friends! I highly recommend the book!
