In The Thank You Book, Carole Stuart teams up with acclaimed illustrator Arthur Robins to teach young children that combining two words, "thank" and "you," makes a powerful everyday statement. The book takes readers from breakfast through bedtime in the company of a young brother and sister. The boy, who is late for school, thanks his father for a comb to tame his unruly hair. The girl, helped by a teacher in a difficult project, receives a smile after saying "thank you." Robins's witty illustrations keep the lesson light.
