Hilarious!

The first time I read this book, I wound up laughing so hard I cried! It is an endearing book of how children see the world. It includes several humourous answers and a few, tender thought-provokers. I recommend this book for all "kids at heart!"

I like it cuz i'm in it!

I love Mr. Bendars book of what children, like i was when I wrote my entry, think would make the world better. My entry, which i made 2 yaers ago when I was 12, was something like: The world would be a better place if photosynthesis could work for people to prevend hunger. Some of the entries are serious like mine, and sone are funny. Three other people in my school have their thoughts in this book. I would recomend that everyone has a copy of this book!

Lima Beans Would Be Illegal

A wonderful mix of view points from children on what would make for a perfect world. Both funny and touching, I was amused and amazed.
