Thank You Cards_BLAD_v8.indd 4-5 9/20/16 2:39 PM

Here are some occasions where you could write

a thank you note

A friend or family member invites you for a special meal

An overnight or longer stay at someone’s house

A special favor done for you by a friend

Thanking a teacher or sports coach for their guidance

So, when would I write an otterly

perfect thank you note?

HOW To Write a Great THANK YOU Note

So someone has done something nice for you, and you want to say thank you. Now what? Here are some tips and tricks for manners masters:

BE POLITE. Begin your note with a formal greeting.

Dear Aunt Susan,

EXPRESS YOUR THANKS.Thank you so much

BE SPECIFIC. State exactly what you’re thanking the person for.

for your generous gift for my graduation.

GET PERSONAL. Explain how you plan to use the gift or what their gesture meant to you. My parents suggested that I put half in my savings account. The other half I’m going to use to buy a new chew toy for my dog, Harold. He’s going to be so happy!

END WITH A WARM SIGN-OFF.Many thanks,

Jeremy

Check out this example for ideas on how to write an A+ thank-you note:

If you open a present in front of someone, you can say thank you right then and there, but always follow up with a hand-written card.

If you receive a bunch of presents at once (for your birthday, bar/bat mitzvah, gradu-ation, etc.) write down who gave you what as you open them. This will make it easy to remember who gave you what gift, plus save you lots of time later on when you write the thank-you cards. Don’t forget to thank the party planner, too!

When it comes to writing a thank-you note, the sooner the better. Less than a week after the gesture is best. And the sooner you do it, the sooner you can check it off your to-do list. But it’s never too late to send a thank you card!

If someone gives you money, write in the thank-you card how you’re going to use it.

For other gifts, write in the thank-you card how you plan to use the gift, or that you’ll think of the gift-giver every time you see their gift.

If you’re thanking someone for having you over or doing something nice for you, mention specifics about what you enjoyed or appreciated about it.

Dear Aunt Susan,

Thank you so much for your

generous gift for my graduation.

My parents suggested that I

put half in my savings account.

The other half I’m going to use

to buy a new chew toy for my

dog, Harold. He’s going to be

so happy! Many thanks,

Jeremy

CHOMP!Fierce Facts About the Bite Force, Crushing Jaws, and Mighty Teeth of Earth’s Champion Chewers

National Geographic Explorer and snake wrangler Dr. Brady Barr has been bitten by a lot of creatures over the years. So this book is born from first hand—er, tooth—experience of getting up close to some of the biggest biters in the animal kingdom. It turns out there’s a lot more to biting than meets the eye. From the shape, size, and strength of a tooth to the structure of the jaw, how (and when and why) an animal bites reveal much about the animal itself. Chomp! highlights an array of awesome animals with a diversity of chomp styles—from shredders to crushers to grinders. Then it shows how tooth type, bite force, jaw shape, and food source all come together to make each an incredible member of the animal bite force!

During his career, herpetologist DR. BRADY BARR has traveled to five continents, worked with hundreds of scientists, suffered from dozens of bruises, and escaped some very close calls while working with some of the world’s wildest and most dangerous creatures. He is a Resident Explorer with National Geographic and has many books, articles, and television shows to his credit, including Nat Geo WILD’s Dangerous Encounters and The Brady Barr Experience and National Geographic chapter books Scrapes With Snakes and Crocodile Encounters.

HISTORY

THE MARCH AGAINST FEARThe Last Great Walk of the Civil Rights Movement and the Emergence of Black Power

James Meredith’s 1966 march in Mississippi began as one man’s peaceful protest for voter registration and became one of the South’s most important demonstrations of the civil rights movement. The retelling of Meredith’s story opens on the day of his assassination attempt and goes back in time to recount the moments leading up to that event and its aftermath. Readers learn about the powerful figures and emerging leaders who joined the 200+ mile walk that became known as the “March Against Fear,” such as Martin Luther King, Jr., and Stokely Carmichael, who formed an unlikely alliance that result-ed in the Black Power movement, which ushered in a new era in the fight for equality. Thoughtfully presented by award-win-ning author Ann Bausum, this book helps readers understand the complex issues of fear, injustice, and the challenges of change. It is a history lesson that’s as important and relevant today as it was 50 years ago.

ANN BAUSUM is an award-winning children’s book author whose painstaking research, eye for just the right illustration, and compelling narrative connects readers with our nation’s past and the echo of history in current events. Bausum has written ten books for National Geographic including Marching to the Mountaintop; Denied, Detained, Deported: Stories From the Dark Side of American Immigration; Freedom Riders: John Lewis and Jim Zwerg on the Front Lines of the Civil Rights Movement, which was a Sibert Honor Book, and With Courage and Cloth: Winning the Fight for a Woman’s Right to Vote, winner of the Jane Addams Award.

MOTOR GIRLSHow Women Took the Wheel and Drove Boldly Into the Twentieth Century

Come along for a joy ride in this enthralling tribute to the daring women—Motor Girls, as they were called at the turn of the century—who got behind the wheel and paved the way for change. The automobile has always symbolized freedom, and in this book we meet the first generation of female motorists who drove cars for fun, profit, and to make a statement about the evolving role of women. From the advent of the auto in the 1890s to the 1920s, when the breaking down of barriers for women was in full swing, readers will be delighted to see historical photos, art, and artifacts and to discover the many ways these progressive females influenced fashion, the economy, politics, and the world around them.

SUE MACY’s previous book for National Geographic, Wheels of Change: How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom, was named to numerous best books lists, including Amelia Bloomer, NCSS Notable, Booklist Top 10 Sports Books for Youth, and SLJ’s 100 Magnificent Children’s Books of 2011. Several of her other books with National Geographic also feature historic women, including Bylines: A Photobiography of Nellie Bly and Bull’s-Eye: A Photobiography of Annie Oakley.

HISTORY

SHACKLES FROM THE DEEPTracing the Path of a Sunken Slave Ship, a Bitter Past, and a Rich Legacy

A pile of lime-encrusted shackles discovered on the seafloor lands Michael Cottman, a Washington, D.C.-based journalist and avid scuba diver, in the middle of an amazing journey that stretches across three continents, from foundries and tombs in England, to slave ports on the shores of West Africa, to present-day Caribbean plantations. This is more than just the story of one ship—it’s the untold story of millions of people taken as captives to the New World. Told from the author’s perspective, this book introduces young readers to the wonders of diving, detective work, and discovery, while shedding light on the history of slavery.

MICHAEL H. COTTMAN, Pulitzer Prize—winning journalist and author, is a former political reporter for the Washington Post. Cottman has appeared on National Public Radio’s “Tell Me More” with Michel Martin and also the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2000 to discuss his (adult) book The Wreck of the Henrietta Marie. Cottman also serves as a special consultant to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for a national, multimedia project, “Voyage to Discovery,” an education initiative that focuses on the African-American contribution to the maritime industry spanning 300 years and efforts to teach students of color about careers in marine biology and oceanography.

THIS BOOK STINKS!Gross Garbage, Rotten Rubbish, and the Science of Trash

Get up close and personal with our wonderful world of waste, from composting and recycling to landfills and dumps to how creative people are finding new ways to reuse rubbish. It’s fun to talk trash when it’s jam-packed with infographics, thematic spreads, wow-worthy photos, sidebars, serious stats, and fabulous facts. Also included are quizzes and activities to inspire kids to take action, be proactive, and rethink the things we throw away.

SARAH WASSNER FLYNN loves writing, running, and triathalons. When she’s not writing about races, she’s usually training or competing in one. She also writes nonfiction books and articles for kids and teens, like the National Geographic Kids National Parks Guide U.S.A. and The Girl’s Life Guide to Being the Most Amazing You.

YOU CAN BE A PALEONTOLOGIST!Discovering Dinosaurs With Dr. Scott

Ever wondered how to find a dinosaur? Paleontologist Dr. Scott Sampson, host of Dinosaur Train on PBS Kids, tells kids how! How do paleontologists find dinosaur bones? How do they know what dinosaurs ate or looked like? And what is paleon-tology, anyway? Dr. Scott tackles all these questions and more while inspiring kids to go out and make the next big dino discovery!

SCOTT D. SAMPSON is a dinosaur paleontologist, science communicator, and nonprofit executive. He serves as president and CEO of Science World at Telus World of Science in Vancouver, British Columbia. Most of Sampson’s scientific research has focused on the ecology and evolution of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs. Sampson was the primary scientific consultant and on-air host of the four-part Discovery Channel series Dinosaur Planet, and today he is known to millions of children and parents around the world as “Dr. Scott the Paleontologist,” host of the hit PBS Kids television series Dinosaur Train. Sampson is also the author of Dinosaur Odyssey: Fossil Threads in the Web of Life (University of California, 2009) and How to Raise a Wild Child: The Art and Science of Falling in Love With Nature (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015).
