Summary: It's Great!
Review: I was thrilled with all the neat ideas this book has to offer. It's an easy to follow format with all kinds of activities that require materials that are either already in your home or are inexpensive to buy. My daughter is four and tells me, "Mommy, I love your ideas!" In a nutshell, what better review could you ask for?

Summary: Good resource book
Review: The book indeed is a good resource of ideas : simple, clear-cut, straight-forward activities in specific centers. One of our teachers at the Pre-school simply loves it. She is totally dependent on it - as she cannot come up with her own creative ideas and cannot even make her own lesson plans. Good source of "cute" activities but does not indicate goals/objectives,concepts,target skills to develop,etc. Indeed, it is JUST a resource book; it is nice to have one if you're really stumped for ideas. However,if you need a book (with more substance) to help your kids appropriately develop skills they need - this is NOT it.

Summary: Similar to The Author's Other Book But Still Pretty Good
Review: THE COMPLETE DAILY CURRICULUM TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION reads similar to this book and contains lots of the same exercises or thematic structure, but the activities nevertheless will engage children. Many of them will stretch your children's abilities and your teaching limits to new heights. Give it a try

Summary: Good resource to have
Review: This is a pretty good resource to have around. I use it throughout the year. The activities are generally easy to scale up or down depending on the level of your class.
