October 2016, Frances Lincoln Children's Books, 32 pages, Hardback, Review copy
Summary from Quarto
Discover 150 ways to say thank you with this book, which
explores the meaning of thankfulness. Join one boy as he thinks about
the people in his life he'd like to thank, the many reasons to be
grateful, and the different ways of showing affection and gratitude to
the people we love.
Nayu's thoughts
A book
encouraging saying thank you to who you know. On most of the pages a
question about thanks is asked and the boy in the book examines who
he wants to thank, what he would do with them, give them and other
thank you related themes. It really makes a reader think just how
important everyone in their life is, and how that gratitude can be
shown. There are lots of good ideas for presents and kind actions to
others which made me smile.
I like how every person the boy mentions
at the start is mentioned for every question in the following pages.
I like how the illustrations focus on being colourful and detailed
for the people, and using simple lines for the objects/surrounding the
people because it keeps the focus on them. My only minor niggle is
that sometimes it was hard to see the text on the darker backgrounds,
the font could have done with colour changes for these parts. A
definite must read and a great way to learn how to think of others
and say thank you for what they do.
