5.0 out of 5 stars Quotable Kids: A Must for All Mothers, August 19, 2000

This review is from: Quotable Kids : Fun in the Family Tree (Sibling Revelry and Parent 'Releaf') (Paperback)

What a fun book is Quotable Kids: Fun In the Family Tree! And, it's more than that. If you suffer from "senior memory", it will be refreshed by these moments in time. As a mother of four and grandmother of eight, I have forgotten many of the funny things I experienced with my children; and those my friends and family members experienced. This has brought to mind some of the great ones. What a great reading experience for mothers of any age!

Cudos to the author and illustrator for putting it together so well! Easy and fun reading is such a luxury these days. I savored every moment. Art Linkletter couldn't have done it better, and he was great.
