Cruising With Children

Rating:
Summary: Good starting material, but only general info is offered.
Review: This is a good book, but rather simple if compared to the works of Beth Leonard. I would have like to have seen reference material sources for home schooling, the applicable U.S. laws and tests, grade level constructs, methods to contact schools before and after the trips, psychological viewpoints from accredited sources and how you integrate the children back once the journey is over. The author seems to spend more time on infants than the older kids. She has good ideas for things-to-do on trips, but I feel that these will run out by the time you hit your first blue water. This is a start though and if that is what was intended, then it does the job. If you are looking for the advanced to expert primer, continue your search in professional cruising magazines and books.
