Great Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I read a few pages of this book in a doctor's office and just had to buy my own copy. Is is short and absolutely down to earth. I have found myself as a child in this book. It has shown me that we are all connected. Humorous and sad and genuine. My book has been read by many and I shall continue to pass it on as a must read. This book is for all.
Hooray for Edith Ann!

A Child's Eye View of Everything
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
As you read the pithy observations of Edith Ann, you have to imagine Lily Tomlin perched in the oversized rocking chair. I can hear her voice as Edith Ann says, "My mom says I have to be more positive and I say life has to be more positive too or it's just not going to work." You can't help but smile (and sometimes laugh out loud) as you read Edith Ann's comments about being a kid. Sometimes she gives her opinions on grown up issues too. Fun...Fun...Fun The book is 191 pages, but is a quick read with little sketches and plenty of white space. "Growing up can take a lifetime," according to Edith Ann.
The slightly darker side of Edith Ann
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Remember the animated specials with Edith Ann in them? As much as I adore Lily Tomlin, as much as the little girl in the huge chair cracked me up, the Jane Wagner version, the smart, sarcastic, slightly sad little girl with the big head, is better. Her voice is perfect, and some of the things she says are things I say, or wish I'd thought of first. "Childhood is the leading cause of stress among kids my age."
Life's too complicated...Read this!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book tells stories through the eyes of a child that are more of parables to adults that take life WAY too seriously. I've read this book several times, and each time it brings back a piece of my childhood that I shouldn't forget, and it teaches me things about life that I should always remember. Edith Ann's life thus far should be an example to our lives as we continue to complicate things and remain over-stressed...Read it!
