Midwest Book Review
We all have experienced the encouragement of parents to write "thank you" notes for gifts and kindnesses that came our way as children. And we have all attempted to discharge this courtesy with as little effort as we could get by with at the time! Now we are adults facing this same dilemma with our own children -- and ourselves, now that we have a more mature perspective on the need for courtesy and etiquette in a complex world of family, friends, and associates. Why. . . Thank You! comes to the rescue of such as we as it provides painless remedies for creating appropriate and effective acknowledgements when called upon to sit down with pen and paper (and in this day and age -- keyboard and computer) to say "thank you". Cat Wagman's suggestions and "how-to" hints and words of advice are practical, applicable, understandable, helpful, and can even make the process of writing thank you notes and correspondences a positive pleasure! Highly recommended!
Publisher Comments
Pen World International, a magazine devoted to the art of writing, beautiful writing instruments as well as collectible fountain pens, selected Why THANK YOU! as the only book to be featured in their Gift Guide section in their November / December 1998 issue (page 61). In doing so they said, "Reticent writers of all ages appreciate this guide to tackling writing tasks--like thank-you notes--with creativity." * * * *
Girls Life, a magazine devoted to the interests of girls ages 9 to 15, had this to say about Why THANK YOU! in their December / January 1999 issue (page 31). "With every holiday gift comes the task of writing thank-you notes. With this fast read, youll tackle them with a whole new tude. Follow Mouss the cat through purrfect techniques to become a master thanker. It includes sample notes, organizing ideas and more. With creativity and humor, youll discover the note-writer within, and thank-yous will be a breeze." * * * * Books that DO Something! by Sheryl Rape The Mountain Times Killington, Vermont 12/25/97
For those special someones, or for yourself, just head to a local bookstore for a couple of fun and very useful books. More than a good read, these books guide the reader toward giving to others.
The decline of the thank-you note may be due not to rudeness, but to a simple lack of how-to. Why THANK YOU! by Cat Wagman comes to the rescue. Subtitled How to Have FUN Writing Fantastic Notes and More, this book lives up to its claims.
Described by the author as mini-adventures in creative writing, it was highly recommended by The Midwest Book Review. An amusingly illustrated cat named Mouss appears along the way as Why THANK YOU! leads the reader through the whys and wherefores of thank-you notes, including organizational techniques and methods to analyze situation that indicate thank-yous. Descriptions of various situations are followed by appropriate sample thank-you notes.
Written clearly and concisely, Why THANK YOU! is appropriate for anyone old enough to write a thank-you note. Important bonus: everyone who uses this book with improve his or her writing skillspainlessly. * * * *
"Why THANK YOU!" is a delightful book and one that students of all ages can use As a teacher, I can also see this book as having an impact on today's young people Thanks, Cat, for a creating a fun, simple, and informative way to get young people to write. We owe you one." Rose f. Schmitt, President 1997-98 Florida Council of Teachers of English * * * *
"What a terrific, fun and easy to read book! very essential and important to everyone from 11 to 93!!! I write thank-you notes all the time and I learned some new techniques from your book! I recommend it highly and will do so in my seminars!" Andrea Nierenberg International Sales and Motivational Consultant President, Nierenberg Group
