Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Graduation is the time for parents to whoop it up, and sibs and pals to offer high-fives. And from the mouths of everyone fly pellets of advice. Each commencement season has its pearls of wit and weirdness. Here, in handy form, are true gems of guidance--for the new graduate, each with a hilarious illustration. The excerpts come from high school, college and professional school graduation speeches, making this the perfect gift for new high school or university graduates.
