About the Book
As we all know, "Kids say the darndest things." However, the author found that kindergarten kids say and do the funniest things, confirmed after seeing the reactions to her stories by other staff, family, and friends. Could you imagine putting your hand in a child’s backpack and pulling out a plastic bag with a turkey neck in it? Could you imagine coming into the classroom and seeing the teacher with red paint all over her? These are two of the stories the author wrote about.
