How to Eat Like a Child And Other Lessons in Not Being a Grown-up

“This book is for rebellious adults only. . . . Inspires instant recognition of childhoods past. . . . A joy.”—People

Universal and timeless, Delia Ephron's How to Eat Like a Child is a delightful revisiting of the joys—and tricky ploys—of childhood. Made into a children's television special and a musical theater revue performed across the country each year, How to Eat Like a Child offers advice beyond the artful etiquette of food consumption. Ephron also teaches us "How to Laugh Hysterically," "How to Have a Birthday Party," "How to Torture Your Sister," and much, much more. As the Washington Post Book World noted, `After the giggles of recognition have subsided, one thing will be very clear: all adults are kids in grown-ups' clothing."

This beloved book is a perfect reminder of the childhood rules you never knew you knew:

• Family Humor: Master the art of tormenting your siblings, talking on the phone for hours, and surviving a family road trip without losing your mind.
• Witty Observations: A hilarious and surprisingly accurate instruction manual on how to properly eat a cookie, mash your potatoes, and blow bubbles in your milk.
• Parenting Humor: For any parent who has ever wondered what's really going on in their child's head, this book is a hilarious, eye-opening field guide.
• Funny Gift Book: The perfect gift for anyone who appreciates satire and remembers the secret, unwritten rules of being a kid.
