Collected and edited by Cynthia L. Copeland, author of The Diaper Diaries and Fun on the Run, together with 170,000 copies in print, Really Important Stuff is filled with clear-eyed common sense that can make us start with surprise and delight.

Things like: ÒBees shouldnÕt be so nice and fuzzy.Ó ÒYou can either keep pedaling, get off the bike, or fall over.Ó ÒPants with pockets are better.Ó Things like: ÒItÕs more fun to color outside the lines.Ó ÒLick your ice-cream cone before it gets a chance to melt.Ó ÒYouÕre only little until someone littler comes along.Ó And, ÒMilk tastes better through a straw.Ó
