Customer Reviews

The important thing about this book is that you read it!
This is a truly timeless book. Published 50 years ago, it still rings true. My own children loved it and we played games echoing it on journeys in the car. In my classroom I use it often to set up reponses in English, math, social studies and science. It always serves to spark animated conversations.

Excellent Book even for fifth graders!!
This book is an excellent study tool for any teacher. The format of the book gives students a perfect model in how to write a good paragraph. Eventhough it is basic, students grasp the idea of the difference between a topic sentence and a paragraph's supporting sentences.

Teachers - This is a great writing activity
Teachers, you can use the pattern used in this book to encourage your students to write. Check for understanding of concepts in your class by having student use the pattern. For example: The important thing about economics is that it teaches us to be good decision makers. It teaches us about goods and services. It teaches us about being a good consumer. It teaches us about opportunity cost. BUT...the important thing about economics is that it teaches us to be good decision makers. (They are writing definitions and don't even know it!)
