Product Description

All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten is a book of short essays by Robert Fulghum, first

published in 1986.

The title of the book is taken from the first essay in the volume, in which Fulghum lists lessons normally

learned in American kindergarten classrooms and explains how the world would be improved if adults adhered to

the same basic rules as children, i.e. sharing, being kind to one another, cleaning up after themselves, and

living "a balanced life" of work, play, and learning.

The book contains fifty short essays, ranging in length from approximately 200 to approximately 1,000 words,

which are ruminations on topics ranging from surprises, holidays, childhood, death, and the lives of

interesting people including Mother Teresa. In his introduction, Fulghum describes these as having been

"written over many years and addressed to friends, family, a religious community, and myself, with no thought

of publication in book form."

Although amazingly popular, some critics found Fulghum's essays (especially the title piece) to be trite and

saccharine. Fulghum addresses this in an essay in his subsequent book, It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It

wherein he mentions "grown-up" subjects such as sexuality.

Fulghum worked with Ernie Zulia (Director) and David Caldwell (composer and music director) to create a

musical based on Kindergarten (Mill Mountain Theatre, Roanoke VA, June, 1992) of the same name, and an

extension of the third book in his trilogy, Uh Oh, called "Uh Oh, Here Comes Christmas." (Mill Mountain

Theater, Roanoke VA, December 1998)

Over nearly two decades, the title essay, "All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten," has spawned

countless parodies involving television shows, movies, books, and other phenomena. The standard format mirrors

Fulghum's own work, starting with "All I Really Need To Know I Learned From [name]," followed by a list of

quotes and/or in-jokes from the subject being parodied.

A modern classic, and a phenomenal bestseller, this simple collection of thoughts and gentle opinion has

struck a deep chord in readers all over the world. Observing our times in his unique way, Robert Fulghum has

tapped into the community that we all share and tells us something about ourselves and how to be the best we

are capable of. He reminds us to share, clean up our own mess, take a nap every afternoon, and to be aware of

wonder.
