Summary: The Parent Educator's Ready Reference
Review: This book is proported to be "a quick source of basic information...for parents and students." I find that the material leaps from the most basic of information to obscurity without the neccessary meat between. Thumbing through the Language Arts section one finds listed "Commas" then suddenly looms the definition on "Onomatopoeia" with nary a "Semi-colon" between! The author does come through in the Math section with lots of basic techniques for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing but in my opinion he skips a beat and leaves out even the most fundamental laws of algebra. Under Science definitions for "atoms" and "molecules" are omitted in favor of "animal products" and "moon." I am sorry to say gleaning information from this book is like a bologna sandwich without the bologna...it is just not filling enough.
