Reviews

[Jeanette]

This book is a good reminder, but a little out-dated in places, too. Due to when it was written, it doesn't even touch on cellphone etiquette. Also, I felt like there were a few places where the author got really pushy and I was thinking, "This is definitely a family by family thing." For the most part, though it's a good book for knowing what is proper. The fancy dining section (e.g. what utensils and stuff to use) was particularly helpful.

Manners Made Easy for the Family by June Hines Moore

If you've ever cringed at your kid talking with their mouth full or calling Grandma by her first name, this book is your new best friend. June Hines Moore makes etiquette easy, fun, and—dare I say—biblically backed! With bite-sized lessons and real-world applications, she helps families turn “please” and “thank you” into second nature. Think of it as a crash course in raising kids who won’t embarrass you at dinner parties. Highly recommended!
