Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Please, Give this book to your daughter, a Positive Psychologist suggests. Comment: The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know EverythingAs a positive psychologist and the author of a book intended to also help girls develop into fine human beings, knowing how to be true to themselves and yet versatile at adapting to changes and difficulties, I am thrilled to see another book that has a similar goal. My book, The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I know Everything gives girls the courage to share their feelings and concerns and to be proud of who they are, while facing growing up challenges. A Smart Gir's Guide to Manners, may appear to focus on the exterior, i.e. manners, but really is much truer to the inner self than one might expect. The book explains in simple language why the girl will benefit from manners, psychologically in terms of how she will feel inside and also socially, in terms of how manners will benefit her situations in life. Also, the book makes clear some of the blindspots that girls can get into and helps them out of them. For example, other people's moms are not invisible and should be talked to politely, when a girl plays or visits at someone else's home. I love the simple, yet clear style of this book and the examples of situations are very well done. This book just hits the spot! Thank you, Nancy Holyoke! Customer Rating: Summary: If it was just common sense, we'd all have it! Comment: Give your child a handbook of the survival skills that she will need at school, the workplace and beyond! Yes, first impressions do count, but life situations frequently require tact and sensitivity that must be taught. Learn the wrong set of social behaviors, and you can be blocked from a world of sometimes life-changing opportunities to come. A Smart Girl's Guide To Manners (American Girl Library) is a handbook of those survival skills that will give young ladies an excellent foothold in the social world that frequently requires more than they can offer based on instinct, alone. Highly recommended! Customer Rating: Summary: Not good for US and Continental eating techniques Comment: I bought this book to illustrate to my daughter the two different styles of eating, and particularly, the proper way to use a fork and knife using the Continental style of eating, which is far more elegant and efficient. It does not have a single illustration for this. Far better to buy "Etiquette for Dummies" or "The Little Book of Etiquette" currently available from Amazon (December 2007). Customer Rating: Summary: Helps with the tough issues Comment: Fabulous! While this book provides helpful information on everyday subjects like how to behave at a friend's house and the movie theater,it's best advice deals with the tough issues: visiting a dying (and scary) relative in the hospital, bumping into friends at a public birthday party that you weren't invited to and consoling a friend whose parent has died, to name a few. Definitely worth the price for my eight-year-old daughter, who enjoys reading the book as much as I like her learning the appropriate responses to problems that we can't always anticipate. Customer Rating: Summary: Great everything! Comment: American Girl has accomplished making books with about everything you ask about in it. it gives you great advice, and i don't think this book has JUST common sense because lots of girls out there wouldn't know some of this stuff. I think it's an awesome book and i think all the American Girl books are awesome. More Reviews
