What a timely and TIMELESS topic for today's fast-paced and 'techy' world - TABLE MANNERS! As a school counselor for 30-plus years, lessons on manners have always been an important part of my curriculum. Julia has created the new and unique 'Emily Post' of table manners and she is having 'The Table' do the talking! Julia Cook books are my number one 'go-to' books to help children learn so many important life-long social skills, and she has hit another home run with Table Talk! This book is a 'must-have'! - Sydney Horton Sauer, M.S., School Counselor, Blue Valley School District #229 A really surprising thoughtful story. My students loved it and made lots of text to self connections. Since I see them at lunch we often reference back to it. The book covers everything from not playing with your food, chewing with your mouth closed, elbows on the table, hand washing, etc. They enjoyed it and learned a great deal from it. Mind you that these are western manners. Many cultures do eat with their hands, burping is considered a compliment, etc. Still a great resource though, especially about cleanliness. - Desiree, Amazon Love this book. My son is 14 with Autism its hard to explain table manners. I love when he reads this book it explains it better with pictures (My son is more visual) he laughs at certain points like cover your mouth when its full. I love that he gets it. Good book for children whether they have special need or not. Thanks - Mrs. B, Amazon
