Customer Reviews

Salt lets them speak for themselves.

J.S. Salt is a sharp editor who knows how to stay out of the way and let his subjects do the talking, so the book has a strong sense of unpolished truth to it. Though some of the entries tend toward the cute, the rest are touching, funny, and straightforward. Kid-wisdom is absolutely refreshing (especially in an election year), and Mr. Salt obviously has a great love and respect for his contributors. It's a perfect companion to his earlier Always Kiss Me Goodnight.

BUY THIS BOOK!

J. S. Salt does it again! This is one of the most charming books that I've ever read! This heart-warming and clever book makes you realize just how simple life can be and will bring you back to a simpler time in your life as you read it. I recommend it for any parent or anyone who works with children. It is also VERY FUNNY to read the kids' handwriting! Trust me--you won't be sorry you bought this book!
