Synopsis

The Wrong Things Kids Write Only a child could write with certainty and confidence:
"Dear Ms. Williams, youo ar da best teecher i evere head."
Only kid logic could produce this statement:
"Don't bite the hand that ... looks dirty."

Learning "write from wrong" can be so confusing for kids. Often the results are laugh-aloud funny, unintentionally clever, or accidentally wise. This charming book of blunders is comprised of teachers' and parents' "favorites." It expresses the timeless truth that the most strange and wonderful things often come from the minds of children.

So get prepared to laugh and have fun as you read about all the wrong things that kids write and think is right!
