"OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES........"

H. Jackson Brown's phenomenal bestseller, "Life's Little Instruction Book" was steady on the New York Times list for over two years. A compilation of some 500 simple but true suggestions for a happy and satisfying life, the small volume sold more than 6 million copies. Then, Brown turned his attention to the observations of children, ages four to 17, or "The Peanut Butter Gang." Consider, "Guests is just another word for cleaning. Chanelle, Age 12." Or, "If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. Parents always catch the second person. Michael, Age 10." In addition to children's sayings, the slim volume is decorated with colorful drawings and includes pertinent quotations from the likes of Harry S. Truman and Aristotle. "Wit and Wisdom from the Peanut Butter Gang" will bring smiles of recognition from parents and grandparents alike. It simply proves what we've always said, "Out of the mouths of babes....." - Gail Cooke

Great fun, charming, and absolutely hilarious at times!

Two thumbs up for the Peanut Butter Gang! This book is both truthful and wise, and it could only come from the innocent hearts and minds of children. Some of the quotes are hilarious, and some are incredibly touching. I'd recommend this book to anyone needing a smile or even just a quick laugh now and again.

Out of the mouths of babes

As one who is always looking for insightful books and spiritual quotations, I happened upon the Peanut Butter Gang and was truly delighted. Each quote comes from the heart of those who are not yet jaded and hopefully, will never be. This book is a great reminder that life is much easier to focus on in simplistic tones. A true joy, this is one title I plan on buying for all of my friends and family.
