"Anyone and everyone who works with children should read this book. Anyone and everyone who works with impoverished, disturbed, minority, or neglected children MUST read this book! I wish I could give a copy to every educator across America. . . It's written in a relaxed, conversational style, making me feel like I was sitting in the teachers' lounge with him over a pot of coffee." -Reviewer
