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

I bought this for my daughter and she loves it! It really did help her with her manners!

I bought this for my 11 year old to help her understand how to be more aware of herself as she interacts with other children and adults in terms of having manners. Of course, children will also learn from what they see, so parents must display these same manners towards others. It was a fun book to read together.

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!

I learned a lot of things by reading this book. I loved the section in this book where it talked about awkward situations and how to politely handle them. It even talks about what you do if a boy asks you to be his girlfriend and you don't want to date him. Please buy this book. It will truly benefit you. If you are a beginner babysitter, this book also teaches you how to handle the child's parents and be polite to them. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with a special occasion coming up. Have a nice day!!

I read the book cover to cover before giving it to my daughter. She’s learned a lot and was able to use the knowledge she gained right away.

Very good book. With all AG books we read the them before we have our daughter read them. This had very good content, was super helpful and very practical. Our daughter loved the quizzes. I agree with some other reviewers that some sections were inapplicable for an 8 year old, namely a section on what to do if you're at a party and everyone decides to play "spin the bottle."

This book is helpful for young girls to understand how to navigate social situations appropriately. Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to explain it so they will understand this book did just that. It also helped me talk about things I would not have thought to bring up on my own.

My daughter is ten going on eleven and this is a nice way to give her some reminders with out working to hard or being overbearing. She really seemed to enjoy reading it and sharing points from this book with me and the family. She's a fairly mature tween so I didn't know if she would think this book was silly but she seems to really like it. Actually so far everything she has gotten from this series she has loved.

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.

Bought this for my daughter and she loved it.

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

Best reference book for an 8yrs old.
