This book is awsome! it takes what us kids call"the list". If you are any kid who has parents then you'll know what i'm talkin about. they always tell you, always wear clean undewear, take out the garbage, and keep your feet off the couch, the stuff kids hate to do. but really parents have a reasonable explanation for all these things. In this book it tells you the big reasons and the small reasons. to find out hwhyparents have all these crazy rules read Always wear clean underwear by mark gellman

This is a wonderful book about core values, written in a humourous, yet serious, style. My two sons, ages 14 and 17, even enjoyed it.

Do you wear clean underwear? "Always wear clean underwear" thats what parents say! Always Wear Clean Underwear by Marc Gellman is a very funny book (don't get me wrong, it also teaches you very important lessons!) In this book it not only teaches you about wearing clean underwear it teaches you thing that kids don't under stand about PARENTS such as.... "eat your vegetables" "don't talk with your mouth full" Things like that! I just read this book for the first time and when I read it i fell in love with it. "Always wear clean underwear" is my all time favorite book. To learn more funny and interesting facts about this book, BYE IT! I would recomened this book to people of all ages! I love it!!

This is a must read book from ages 10 on up. Gives good advice for young people to think about as they grow up. It also reinforces to adults what they were taught growing up. Life is full of challenges, no matter what your age. This book reminds us about the golden rule, treating people well, doing the right thing etc. It does it in a lighthearted way, not a finger shaking do this approach. It will make you laugh and cry.

I have a 9 year old who has always had to be forced to read. Her 4th grade teacher requires 20 min. per night reading, signed by me. She loved this book. It was almost all readable by her grade level. She felt competent and interested. She had other girls over for sleep overs and read the book to them. This is the greatest book that any of my seven kids has ever read. It has provoked many conversations with her and stopped the "It's not fair." It has changed our family. What more can you ask from a book!

I got this book for Christmas from my Aunt, she said to share someo f the stories with my sister, and defintily read "Money Doesn't Grow on Trees." Well I read the whole book! Very cute & awesome! It had a moral for every story, and now I know Money Doesn't Grown On Trees!

I am a 3rd grade teacher and I always read this book to my students. They love it and I believe it teaches them a lot. They have to realize the "BIG MEANINGS" behind all of the items on the List! I am now buying the book for my mom to let her know that I now (as an adult) know why she followed the List while I was growing up:)

Wow! What a fabulous book. My daughter is only six, but we have been enjoying reading it together. She loves the tone; it's friendly and funny enough to be interesting, yet serious enough to be instructive. It has sparked some interesting conversations about love, respect, and responsibility. We will read it many more times before she reaches adolescence! (I think I'm learning a thing or two, too.) I highly recommend it to all parents.

I am an Elementary School Media Specialist and am always at a lose for things to do/read to the upper grade classes (4th-6th graders)!!!! Until I found this book. Not only do the kids love it but myself and practically all the teachers who hear it have been buying it like crazy for themselves, their classrooms and it makes a GREAT baby shower gift for first time Mom's!!!!

Rabbi Gellman's book is not only funny but each chapter is a life lesson for everyone to enjoy and take to heart. My children loved this book and we read it over and over again often.
