Summary:

You have to hand it to children. They do have a wonderfully straightforward view of the world, and a way with words that manages to make day-to-day life much more fun. In Out of the Mouths of Babes you'll find a fantastic selection of the side-splitting bloopers, hiccups, innocent misunderstandings and downright funny things that kids have come out with. For example: Kids on love: 'If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long.' Kids on music: 'Handel was half German, half Italian and half English.' Kids on religion: 'St Paul cavorted to Christianity.' Out of the Mouths of Babes is a charming celebration of the unique, quirky - and usually entirely unintentional - humour of children everywhere, for adults who enjoy seeing the funnier side of life.

Reviews:

Kids have a habit of saying exactly what they think - often with hilarious results... Out of the Mouths of Babes, has brought together fabulous true-life quotes as recalled by teachers and parents

The Sun

Books about the daft things children say always run the risk of being cutesy, but the saying and observations in Klein's collection veer more towards the ridiculous than the saccharine, making it a genuinely laugh-out-loud read
