All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten:  Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things
reviewed on + 61 more book reviews


I had to read this for summer reading in high school. I really enjoyed it.

Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday school. These are the things I learned:

Share everything

Play fair

Dont hit people

Put things back where you found them

Clean up your own mess

Dont take things that arent yours

Say your sorry when you hurt somebody

Wash your hands before you eat

Flush

Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you

Live a balenced life --learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday some

Take a nap every afternoon

When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together

Be aware of wonder
