When looking for another book I ran across this one on our shelf – I’m guessing I got it from Mom or Becky? 🙂 I don’t remember, but it looks fun and above my head, which is good because it means I’m learning. It explains the concept to the parent, then tells you how to teach it to your child and provides exercises along with photos and explanations for various drawings. I plan to read through this and try it for myself then do it with the kids.
