i think the book helps us to see what things are really important. sometimes life gets in the way of remembering the littel basics of what it is all about. my kids loved reading it too. my youngest sons favorite is "plain underwear is boring" while the younger boy likes "you'll never catch a frog if you're worried about getting your shorts wet" this book is fantastic, especially for parents and teachers...and we are all one, the other...or both.

SOMETIMES WE FORGET HOW INNOCENT KIDS ARE AND HOW THEY CAN HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD. THIS BOOK IS DELIGHTFUL EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE CHILDREN OF YOUR OWN BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE YOU REMEMBER.

This book gives you lots of laughs, but some serious thinking quotes, too. Anyone who has raised or been around kids could really relate.

This is an absolutely wonderful book full of the wisdom of childhood. I keep a copy of this in my reception room and consistantly hear from parents and children alike that it is their favorite.

I gave this book to my entire business unit. I think most books on business, how to make a company better, etc. make things too complicated. If you really read each point in this book, it just applies to everything we do in both our personal and business lives. It's how I want my co-workers to behave and treat others. Take for example, the first one- "Jump right in or you might change your mind about swimming." In other words- Sometimes don't anaylze too much, just do it. Or "Ask why until you understand"- In other words, if you don't understand, keep talking until everyone does.....etc.. A GREAT BOOK!

I don't even have kids, I'm a college student, but this book is by the my favorite book to open and read when I pass by. I have TONS of quote and inspirational books, but this is by far the best because of it's adorable simplicity. The little words of wisdom are so inspiring.

I love this little treasure...when down-in-the-dumps moods strike, pick up and read this little gem.

This is a great little book. After receiving it as a gift, I went out and bought a ton to give to all of my friends with kids, (including the mailman cause we always talk about our kids to each other). Makes a great gift for someone who loves kids. Nice cheap Christmas gift.

Some of these remarks are so pithy they have made it into our everyday speech. "Sometimes your best move is blocked by your own checkers," is one. "If you don't like the birthday girl, don't go to the party" is another. This book makes a nice small gift, too.

This is a great little book to give new moms, teachers, social workers, and anyone who loves children. It will bring smile after smile!
