Never Eat Anything That Moves: Good, Bad, and Very Silly Advice from Kids

48 pp. | Dial | May, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2640-6 $$12.00

(4) 4-6 The pages of this inviting volume contain colorful comic illustrations and brief quotes from real kids offering advice--some practical, some wise, some funny, and some nonsensical. A few of the offerings are wordy, while others are familiar ("Life's too short, eat dessert first"), or don't qualify as advice at all ("Pull my finger"). The prime audience may be adults who enjoy "Kids Say the Darndest Things" humor.
