ellsbeth's review against another edition
4.0
The parents in my daughter's preschool were asked to read this. At first, I found myself annoyed at the explanations of the importance of creativity. Then I realized I was reading it as an educator who had background on the topic and familiarity with the research presented. I didn't need convincing that kids need to play and that creativity is something that can be taught. When I stopped being an ed snob and started to read it more as a parent, it was a better book. I most appreciated the sections that gave specific actions you can take with your own kids. This is a worthwhile book if you are looking to expand your child's perspective beyond the worlds of math and reading. I also enjoy the shift in perspective the book gave me as a parent.
