- I wish all children saw this before third grade.
The book has an introduction to the idea of using learning strategies for the youngest children. As the author says, most teaching about how to learn begins in fourth grade. The little story and puppet help introduce the idea on a young child's level. Then there are some brief practical uses of strategies for K-3 children.

- engaging and childlike
As you can tell from the cover, the illustrations are engaging and childlike.

- Very disappointing
I am quite disappointed in this book: actually, weighing in at 32 pages it is barely a book and more of a pamphlet. The much-touted learning strategies occupy a scant page and a half and duplicate the same content that a minimal amount of web browsing would gather on the same topic. The illustrations in the book are amateurish and my first grader unfortunately found the story unengaging. Despite taking a 40% loss on the cost, I'm returning this item.

- learning strategies are a big help
Someone told me about this book and how it teaches kids learning strategies. It does it with a story to get their interest. I've been using the ideas in this book and they are a big help. It can help any kid but especially one with LD. The writer has a website with free stuff that helps a lot too.
