Childrens Books Quotes

“Connor had become a doctor just two days ago—along with all of his friends. They were hand-selected at just three years old to undergo intensive medical training as part of a controversial experiment, called Kid Docs. In the past few years, the Kid Docs program had produced some of the best doctors in the entire country, if not the world. They had some of the lowest complication rates and the highest success rates, and they had developed innovative new procedures that saved lives that were previously unsalvageable. Connor hoped that he would be among the best doctors in the world someday. But right now, he was focused on only a single thing: saving this one man’s life.”

“Just like the Little Dragon, you can choose to feel your feelings and to make positive changes. Everyone has emotions and we can learn to express them in a healthy way. Sharing things that bring you joy and behaving respectfully toward others can help build friendships. Life is more fun when shared with friends.”

“We are rats We're quicker than cats And we're twice as clever Don't need shoes Don't need socks Don't need soap Don't need clocks Don't need rules Don't need schools We can writhe We can wriggle We can laugh We can giggle We can squeak We can squeal We can fart We can burp We can slobber We can slurp We can poo We can pee We can dribble in the sea We are rats We are alive We will survive”

“Caring for dogs teaches kids observation skills, empathy and a sense of responsibility. Taking part in sport helps children cultivate physical strength, mental and physical resilience, self-esteem, delayed gratification, patience, courage, independence, leadership skills, good judgement and decision making, collaboration skills and a passion for teamwork. I have long held the belief that sport is worthwhile, and something that is often underestimated in the individual and team values it fosters. Who ever said that sporty types - girls included - do not like a fairy tale? Sport can be the beginning of a journey where children discover that they - and their team - whether dogs or humans, can create and fulfil their passions and their dreams”

“The little group rested on the bank of a river. Calm reigned, only disturbed by the snores of Gwizdo, who was fast asleep next to Hector. The two were lying on the bank. Nearby, sitting side by side under a tree, Lian-Chu and the moustached man were engaged in discussion.”

“Is all that to celebrate our return?", asked Gwizdo, puzzled. "The day I celebrate you will be your departure", responded Jeanneline sarcastically. "No, it's for Zoria. She's coming to visit." Lian-Chu's face lit up when he heard the name of the young girl, who he himself had trained in the profession and liked very much. Gwizdo's face, however, winced in an angry grin. "Zoria?!? Are you nuts, Jeanneline? Why not invite all the other competition while you're at it? No, but it's true!" Jeanneline scowled and fixed her gaze on Gwizdo. "I'll have you know that Zoria is my daughter and that she is also Zaza's older sister. And first of all, if my Zoria became a dragon hunter, you only have yourselves to blame.”

“Four kids in T-shirts and jeans jam on a powwow stage. They’re grinning, bouncing, fully engaged with their music, each other, and the relaxed crowd. I’m splitting fry bread with a cousin as we cheer on the band, and across the tent, a young girl reading a paperback catches my eye. In that moment, I wish for more characters like those kids in the pages of children’s books. This anthology is a fulfillment of that wish.”

“Attractiveness shines from inside you, outwards. (It’s not about what you look like.) When you’re happy kind and loving, you’re BEAUTY FULL like SUNSHINE! Your glow warms everyone you meet. But, when you’re angry, mean, whingy, sulky or rude you become CLOUDY. And your cold, murky fog drives people away. Behind every cloud, the sun shines. It’s up to you to push your clouds away”

“Solomon breathed a sigh of relief ever so slightly, thankful that the cricket had not been eaten. Not that he was concerned for the cricket being eaten. No, he was simply relieved that the voice in the closet, which could be a monster, had not eaten it. If the voice had eaten the cricket, that meant that he was a monster that eats things in the night, and Solomon too could be eaten. Being eaten by a closet monster was perhaps the scariest thing that could happen to an elephant, not to mention a cricket, as far as Solomon was concerned.”

“Ethan got some books out of an old trunk. They were history books, some passed down from his great-grandfather Tom through his grandfather Jeb and father Andrew. Ethan expected that he’d pass them on to his own child, one day. History and family trees had always been very important to the Fortner family.”

“DUCK VISIT I visited some ducks today down by the riverside. They quickly waddled up to see what food I might provide. Some seeds for them and Brie for me, the ducks and I are snackers. Golly gee, it’s plain to see that I love cheese and quackers.”

“Scary stories protect us. They have since the beginning of story itself. That's what they were made for. And children, especially, need scary stories. They keep children away dangerous places and dubious people. The old folk stories of nixies kept children away from the edges of dangerous waters. Tales of ghosts to this day keep children away from abandoned, tetanus-filled houses. Stories of the Candy Man keep them from talking to strangers. If we keep children away from scary stories, we are doing them a disservice. These books warn them against things that busy adults might have failed to mention. Moms and Dads and Schools are often afraid to talk about monsters and boogeymen, because they are afraid of scaring the children. But scary books for don't mind doling out a good scare- that's their job, after all, and they do it better than anyone else.”

“Why are you so sad Fluffytail?” asked Mr. Alligator. Fluffytail was very surprised since no one else had ever asked him this question. “I’m new in town and searching for friends, but no one wants to be my friend. This makes me afraid to start a new school,” Fluffytail said. “I think it’s my fluffy tail.” “Don’t worry little one. I am also different from all the other alligators in this pond. I was born with only half of a tail and I have many good friends.”
