I would have to agree, kids are rude but I am certain every older generation thinks the younger generation is rude.
If this book were coming from anyone other than Whoopi I would think it worthy.....
Sometimes celebrities screw up and do something good, even if they aren't one of your favorites. Jamie Lee Curtis has been writing some fantastic children books that I have been reading to my kids. If I see Woopi's book at the store, I will at least check it out to see if it's worth buying.
