Priceless Proverbs Book 2: Funny Happens When Kids Finish Famous Sayings
Priceless Proverbs Book 2 continues where book one left off - with over one hundred additional kid quotes and illustrations. It is the result of hundreds of interviews with young children ages three to twelve, who were presented with the first half of a famous saying or proverb and then asked to finish it themselves.
It began as part of a larger class project by teacher Kristi Porter and the children of Happi Kamper Child Care, located in North Muskegon, Michigan. Each child was to create an individual gift book for his or her parents, and Priceless Proverbs was simply to be one chapter in each child’s book.
Now, the individual answers of the Happi Kamper Kids, as well as those of the children at Community United Methodist Preschool, and Power Play Childcare in N. Muskegon have been combined. Their diverse, candid, and uncensored answers may surprise you, or even make you laugh out loud, as you get a quick glimpse into the amazing and intricate minds of some of the most delightful and fascinating children around. Enjoy!

Prendete un gruppo di bambini dai tre ai dodici anni e fate loro completare un proverbio o una famosa sentenza dopo aver loro presentato solo la prima parte. Quello che otterrete saranno delle risposte sorprendenti: alcune lo saranno per la loro saggezza, altre per la loro ovvia semplicità, altre ancora per il divertimento che suscitano. Corredato con i disegni dei bambini, questo ebook è davvero carino e ne consiglio la lettura a chiunque.

Priceless
Priceless Proverbs was a most enjoyable read, but far to short...the children's endings were witty and innocent as only a child's answers can be! Delightful for children lovers everywhere!

This is a clever collection of words and art created by children of today! Honest and raw, you will wonder why Shakespeare and Franklin didn't think of these things! A+ to each of them!
