|  | Lima Beans Would be Illegal by Robert Bender
What do you think would make our world a more perfect place to be? Robert Bender spent two years asking kids across the country that question. The result is this collection of over a hundred poignant, charming, refreshingly funny quotes that speak to an ageless, universal longing in all of us. For instance, it would be a perfect world if: ...my mom would finally realize I'm never going to clean my room. ...my cousin would come down from heaven. ...I could turn my brother into an ant and step on him.
