Everyone should own this book, and re-read it often. The little sayings are sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and often piercingly truth revealing.

As books of sayings go, this is one of the best. There's well over 100 sayings, like "Your room gets smaller as you get bigger" (I'm not sure if that's always true, actually), and "Don't run away from home in the middle of a storm."

As books of sayings go, this is about the best. Good ones for teachers to remember: The fastest kid in the class shouldn't get a head start. It's not enough to spell "magnificence" in your own bedroom, you have to spell it in front of the microphone during the spelling bee. Sometimes the biggest apple has the biggest worm.

Very cute book. Some examples of the pages are: If you try to catch two butterflies with one net, they'll both get away...nobody notices it when your zipper is up, but everyone notices when it's down...Even Popeye didn't eat his spinach until he absolutely had to...and lots more. A feel good book!!
