Those Funny Kids! (1975) by Dick Van Dyke is a collection of anecdotes and one-liners sent to Dick Van Dyke by teachers throughout the United States. It contains definitions by children who really don't know what words mean--but that doesn't stop them from coming up with a meaning--and historical "facts" from misinformed miniature historians. Readers even get a dose of kid-filtered religion from the children who attend parochial schools. Some of the stories are a bit dated, but there is still plenty of good, clean humor for today's readers.

This book was hilarious, and at a few points of the book I couldn't stop laughing!

The stories very much show their age in a gentle, corny way. The best part is the little bits here and there where DVD shares a little insight into his own life.

A cute collection of things children have said in classrooms. It is a little dated, but still very cute.

Having worked in Danville, IL, for 20 years, I know some of the background of Dick Van Dyke.
