Summary: A wonderful book from an American Hero
Review: Fulghum's outlook on life is refreshing. He finds simple pleasures in everyday life that many people are missing. The core of his book(s) revolves around treating ourselves and others with kindness, exploring everything with wonder our Surroundings, and giving each other that special kind of boost that says I know your their and I'm glad. If you're looking for deep thought and didn't find it here I challenge you to reread it. I would go so far to say that he is the Tao Tzu of out times. In a world so filled with hatred and actions designed to break others down Fulghum has written a book that can bring the kind, wonderous child in all of us out. I cannot recommend it more.finally, Yes I always buy lemonaid from kids on the street corner even if I have to circle the block. It's worth the smiles :)

Summary: A common man attempting to be Plato or Socrates,
Review: I admit, the kindergarten analogy is quite well though of. But the title of the book only refers to three pages of the longest 196 page book one will ever read. Robert Fulghum searched for so much meaning in the simplest things it is unreal. There are few brilliant philosophical points this man makes. you can really sense his reaching for meaning in every thing. He is a noncomformist because it fits the book. He says that we shouldn't shovel snow or rake leaves, because God wouldn't want it that way. Every sotry is about his life and had he written a biography, I may have understood some parts to his story. There are points in the book where I really though he was going to flash so genius and then he just cuts out and goes flat. Fulghum is no philosopher, if you want to read this book for some reason, go to library, save yourself the money.

Summary: I am a Kindergarten Teacher and I agree with Robert !
Review: I am a certified teacher teaching Kindergarten in Georgia. I read Mr. Fulham's book "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" while still in college. Now that I have taught Remedial Reading and Math, Fourth Grade, First Grade, and Kindergarten, I completely agree with Mr. Fulham. I know there are important skills to be learned in every grade. However, if a child does not get a firm foundation to build on, the tower of blocks can only be so tall before it falls. That foundation is taught in Kindergarten. Along with state-mandated skills, the Kindergarten teacher must teach respect for self and others, responsibility, friendship, patience, an "I can" attitude, triumphs and disappointments. We also show the child love while expecting more from them that most parents do. A poster of Robert Fulham's essay is hanging on my wall at school.

Summary: Complex thoughts made Simple
Review: I am rather surprised at some of the views expressed by other fellow readers. The point they miss is that Mr. Fulghum communicates the complex in simple terms that most anybody can identify with or relate to. These poems are not the esoteric writings of the Bagavad Gita, the thoughts of St. Augustine, or the insights of Mamonadies. But they communicate very simply the things that people learned at one time, took for granted, then lost somehow... and I for one enjoyed becoming reaquainted with these ideas.

Summary: One of my favorite books of all times
Review: I am very surprised about how insulting some of the comments on this book are. While I agree that you may or you may not like this book (or any other book for that matter), I can only think that those who insult the author for his writing didn't understand a word of what he tried to communicate. Did he fail ? No, I liked the book a lot for its wisdom, common sense and humour. If you don't agree that not everything has to be big to be good, then you may not understand it... often a simple flower from a meadow offered with a true feeling is worth more than a hundred roses quickly purchased in a supermarket.

Review: I don't think I can recommend this to anyone. It reads like a grade-school diary.

Summary: Too Plain
Review: I found the reading a bit boring. My teachers had recommended it saying it was hilarious! No fun at all for me! It seems as if the author has led his pen fly through the pages and write whatever came to his mind. Whatever! It looks like a personal diary , no worth publishing! I've read similar books but found them much more interesting e.g 'Chicken soup for the soul' series
