"All of the More Than . . . series have gone to my classes for students to see. It is such a teacher-friendly format, one that works well for teachers at various levels of education and experience. Everything is laid out for the teacher: goals, materials, descriptions of activities; with enough theoretical framework provided at the outset to help students and teachers understand the rationale for the activities. These books should be in every child care center's resource room."
