| Quotes for Kids is a wonderful book using well-known quotes from famous people and not so well-known quotes from not so famous people. The author gives one or more interpretation of each quote, some of which are illustrated by clever line drawings…The thought-provoking book would be beneficial to children and young adults who today are inundated with violence and other negative behavior in the media, and sometimes in their own families. But adults will also enjoy and learn from the quotes…A sequel to Quotes for Kids for younger children, using more anecdotal examples to illustrate how one can show love and build character, etc, would be most welcome.

The students also began to recognize that authors of quotations had the desire to pass on thought dealing with subjects such as character traits.

| Dear Lisa, After hearing you speak at the Delta Kappa Gamma meeting in Hershey, I knew that your book would be wonderful to use with my students. I never realized how much they would learn from it and love to read it each day. The students would fight over which ones they chose to read. They most always had a profound message that impacted on their life that day. Thanks a lot for making my year even more enjoyable. Sincerely, Patricia Crouse |
