Summary: Good for the kids, and the adults
Comment: We have had this book for about a month now, and we have been thoroughly enjoying it. My stepdaughter really enjoys the lessons, but of course it does not make her manners great. While we learn the ideas of new manners, the old ones go out the window unless they are constantly reinforced. Overall, this book is nice as we see improvement and an awareness of how we all can be more pleasant to others, and that the basis of manners is making others like to be around us.
This book is great for those of us who have been brought up with manners, but it can be very frustrating when we try to enforce some of the more old-fashioned manners and other adults tell us (in front of the children) that "it's okay" or whatever. When I tell my stepdaughter to call adults Mr. and Mrs. So-And-So and then those adults say not to, that bothers me. Or if I tell my stepdaughter not to push to get in front of adults and they say "that's okay", that bothers me too. It seems that manners are not expected of children these days and I guess that is why we don't see them so often. Plus it takes guts for we adults who believe in manners at all ages to stand up to adults who don't expect manners from children!
Well, I think kids are really excited about manners, as my stepdaughter asks all the time to have her dad read from "the manners book". And this book has all the manners that you remember as a kid: table manners, the lost art of the THANK YOU letter, etiquette when you are a guest at someone else's home (what to bring, what to say), etc. I really like it so far!
Another reviewer mentioned that the lessons are laid out for each day of the year. That doesn't really apply to us either, since my stepdaughter isn't here every day, so we just started at the beginning and use a bookmark to pick up at the next lesson. Some lessons are very short, some are longer, and the book is broken into chapters so you can look up specific situations as well if you need to.
We've enjoyed it and we highly recommend it. I actually recommended it to a lady in a restaurant who had a remarkably polite two-year-old. You don't have to wait until bad manners are a habit to introduce good manners. Kids are so eager to do the right thing if they are introduced to it from the beginning! And we adults have learned a few things ourselves!

Summary: Great ideas and pratical advice
Comment: This book goes into great detail and wonderful practical ideas for teaching children manners. It's organized for reading one reading per day for a year. It's hard to start except on January 1 because one "lesson" builds on another. We wish it wasn't dated by calendar day so it could be started at any time. Other than this little quirk, it's a great book!

Summary: A book worth buying - for yourself and your children!
Comment: This is an enjoyable book with little tidbits to teach your children and yourself, as time goes by.
I would suggest this for people with and without children.
