The little seed in the Styrofoam cup offers a reminder about our own mortality and the delicate nature of life . . . a spider who catches (and loses) a full-grown woman in its web one fine morning teaches us about surviving catastrophe . . . the love story of Jean-Francois Pilatre and his hot-air balloon reminds us to be brave and unafraid to fly . . . life lessons hidden in the laundry pile . . . magical qualities found in a box of crayons . . . hide-and-seek vs. sardines--and how these games relate to the nature of God. <i>All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten</i> is brimming with the very stuff of life and the significance found in the smallest details. <p/> In the editions since the first publication of this book Robert Fulghum has had some time to ponder to reevaluate and to reconsider adding fresh thoughts on classic topics including a short new introduction. <p/> <b>Praise for <i>All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten</i></b> <p/> A healthy antidote to the horrors that pummel us in this dicey age.<b>--Baltimore<i> Sun</i></b> <p/> Within simplicity lies the sublime.<b>--<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b> <p/> It is interesting how much of it applies not only to individuals grown or small but even to nations.<b>--New York <i>Daily News</i></b> <p/> As universal as fresh air and invigorating as the fragrance of a Douglas fir.<b>--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b>
