" While some of his points carry validity, his tone was snarky and he made some wild generalizations and accusations. It was refreshing to get another point of view, but I think he could have presented it more tactfully. "

" This book was a wonderful read as I had been wondering why the educational theorists could not meet halfway. Why people just don't do what is working? This book explained alot. I did not always agree but I don't read to agree. I read to be challenged and to think. "

" My copy is so tattered now that the cover is barely hanging on. The twins want me to read the poems and sing the songs everyday. Isabel and I enjoyed the other sections too.

" My kids have loved reading from this book. They've brought it to me and asked for "another story" and "more stories" and so forth. I like reading what others think kids should know by preschool and am often surprised and impressed. This was a good pick. Thanks, Kristi!
