The Wisdom of Children ( Words of Wisdom Series): A Book of Quotes from and About Kids Book

Kids tell it like it is. They have a knack for speaking their minds and spouting out the unvarnished truth-sometimes at the most inappropriate times. But what they say are also some of the wittiest and most insightful remarks that you'll ever hear.

The Wisdom of Children is a book of more than 250 quotations from and about kids. In it, kids let loose on a variety of subjects such as parents, love and marriage, politicians, what grown-ups can learn from kids, and how they hope the world will change when they grow up. There are also some mixed-up facts on the subjects of religion, science, and history that could have only been conceived by the mind of a child. And while kids are the biggest contributors in the book, you'll also find quips, quotes, and anecdotes from writers, educators, humorists, entertainers, and philosophers that explore the candor, wonder, and joy of children and what they teach us.

So forget about kids being seen and not heard. The Wisdom of Children celebrates kids everywhere, and the wonderful and witty ways in which they express themselves.
