A New York Times , Los Angeles Times , Boston Globe and Indie Bestseller Playful spaniels completely covered with snow--"There's no such thing as 'bad' weather." Two happy dogs sleeping, one on top of the other-- "Sometimes you need a pillow. Sometimes you are the pillow." The bulldog who's headfirst in her bowl--"Every meal is THE BEST MEAL EVER." Cynthia L.

It reminds us again and again of what's important, like love: "Be there when others need you." Compassion: "Even the smallest act of kindness matters." Perseverance: "Keep going until you find your way home." A healthy sense of self: "Make it squeak until someone pays attention." Living in the present moment: "Scratch where it itches, when it itches." And that happiness is a choice: "Leap higher than you have to."

Great for Adults Too
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I gave this book to my entire business unit. I think most books on business, how to make a company better, etc. make things too complicated. If you really read each point in this book, it just applies to everything we do in both our personal and business lives. It's how I want my co-workers to behave and treat others. Take for example, the first one- "Jump right in or you might change your mind about swimming." In other words- Sometimes don't anaylze too much, just do it. Or "Ask why until you understand"- In other words, if you don't understand, keep talking until everyone does.....etc.. A GREAT BOOK!
A perfect book for all of us who remember life as a child

i think the book helps us to see what things are really important. sometimes life gets in the way of remembering the littel basics of what it is all about. my kids loved reading it too. my youngest sons favorite is "plain underwear is boring" while the younger boy likes "you'll never catch a frog if you're worried about getting your shorts wet" this book is fantastic, especially for parents and teachers...and we are all one, the other...or both.
IT MADE ME LAUGH, CRY, AND REMEMBER
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
SOMETIMES WE FORGET HOW INNOCENT KIDS ARE AND HOW THEY CAN HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD. THIS BOOK IS DELIGHTFUL EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE CHILDREN OF YOUR OWN BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE YOU REMEMBER.
Great book of short quotes that only a kid would think of.

This book gives you lots of laughs, but some serious thinking quotes, too. Anyone who has raised or been around kids could really relate.
