Review Quote

"What a timely and TIMELESS topic for today's fast-paced and 'techy' world - TABLE MANNERS! As a school counselor for 30-plus years, lessons on manners have always been an important part of my curriculum. Julia has created the new and unique 'Emily Post' of table manners and she is having 'The Table' do the talking!" "Julia Cook books are my number one 'go-to' books to help children learn so many important life-long social skills, and she has hit another home run with Table Talk! This book is a 'must-have'!" - Sydney Horton Sauer, M.S., School Counselor, Blue Valley School District #229
