Edith Ann is charming. With the simplicity of a child, she faces fears that we all deal with. When I feel that I am losing any part of my childhood, I reach for this book. You should too.

As you read the pithy observations of Edith Ann, you have to imagine Lily Tomlin perched in the oversized rocking chair. I can hear her voice as Edith Ann says, "My mom says I have to be more positive and I say life has to be more positive too or it's just not going to work."
You can't help but smile (and sometimes laugh out loud) as you read Edith Ann's comments about being a kid. Sometimes she gives her opinions on grown up issues too. Fun...Fun...Fun
The book is 191 pages, but is a quick read with little sketches and plenty of white space. "Growing up can take a lifetime," according to Edith Ann.

I read a few pages of this book in a doctor's office and just had to buy my own copy. Is is short and absolutely down to earth. I have found myself as a child in this book. It has shown me that we are all connected. Humorous and sad and genuine. My book has been read by many and I shall continue to pass it on as a must read. This book is for all.

I adore this book! Edith Ann is so insightful, funny and charming. This book will truly brighten up your day and make you laugh. An absolute MUST for Lily Tomlin fans!!!

This book tells stories through the eyes of a child that are more of parables to adults that take life WAY too seriously. I've read this book several times, and each time it brings back a piece of my childhood that I shouldn't forget, and it teaches me things about life that I should always remember. Edith Ann's life thus far should be an example to our lives as we continue to complicate things and remain over-stressed...Read it!
