Thanks a LOT, Emily Post! is a cute picture children's book by Jennifer LaRue Huget. The illustrations in the book are cute and funny and do a good job showing how the characters are feeling. This book is about a mom who bring the "Emily Post Etiquette" book into her house and her children become sick of the book. The children come up with a plan to get their mother to remove the book from the house and the plan works. I'm having a hard time being able to show how I would use this as a writing or mentor tool to my students. ( )

Hilarious illustrations accompany this tale, which while fun and funny, left me scratching my head about its message for children. The book seems to miss Emily Post's point that etiquette is not about following rules for rules' sake, but about treating people with "respect, honesty, kindness and consideration," points which are made in the author's note. Instead, the book focuses on how the children resent rules and want to go back to their bad behavior. It is only through turning Emily Post's rules against the mother that the children may go back to doing what they like, which has a questionable message about family and limits.

"Everything was just dandy... till that Emily Post book showed up." A family of unruly children try to figure out how to get rid of the Emily Post book their mother brought home. ( )

In the front of the book we are told that Emily Post created fictional characters like Mrs. Toplofty, Mr. Kindhart, Mrs. Wellborn and Mrs. Worldly for her 1922 book Etiquette in society, in business, in politics and at home". The same characters are sprinkled throughout this wonderful story.

When mother brings home an etiquette book by Emily Post, life at home changes. The children are consistently being told what Emily Post says they should do in every situation. They are hit with so many rules that they feel they can no longer have any fun. The lovely characters from Emily Post's book weigh in on each and every situation. Finally the older brother comments that he bet Emily was not a perfect child. That is when Mrs. Worldly lets them in on some of the mean little antics Emily Post pulled. This gives them an idea. They put their plan in action to get rid of Emily and her friends. This was a wonderful book. They plan they came up with was wonderful and funny. The illustrations were bright, colorful and had so much for they eyes to take in, (think eye candy). I think this is a book every grown up should share with a child. It is a wonderful way to teach some etiquette, which is something that seems to be going out the door in today's age. I am very glad I got this book and read it to my grandchildren. ( )
