"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."
