American Girl A Smart Girl's Guide: Manners: The Secrets to Grace, Confidence, and Being Your Best

I really liked this book for my nine year old daughter. It talks about why manners are important and the language is very accessible and kind. It talks about how manners are not just some rules about right and wrong but they help people know what is expected of one another. And help society function because they are agreed upon customs and expectations of productive adults. It makes manners about being a grown up. Like it makes manners seem like something you want to learn!

Bought this for my daughter and she loved it.

This series of books is wonderful and I have bought lots of them for my almost 12 year old daughter. Although they are written for the USA market and some of the words or phrases aren't necessarily what we would use in the UK, the advice is sound, appropriate and there is a strong emphasis on respect and kindness toward yourself, your friends and your parents throughout the series. I cannot recommend them enough. This book covers basic manners, why people tell white lies to avoid hurting others feelings, how to say please and thank you properly and how to take a compliment.

This is exactly what I have been looking for! My 10yr old loves this. It is written in a way that she finds relevant AND interesting. It’s everything from friendly conversation, table manners (at home, friends, restaurant etc) gifts and more

Excellent book for young girls, the language is pitched just right, my granddaughter loves it. Extremely useful book and the price is well balanced.
