      I have requested our selector to buy this book for our library system – I think it will be a valuable resource for staff as well as parents and teachers!

      I love the idea of building children’s self-esteem through developing competencies – it reinforces the fact that parents are their children’s first teachers and the notion that learning can be both fun and practical. Please include my name in the drawing.

      As a high school teacher, I know that the first teacher that any child has is his/her parent(s). The preschool years are so very important. I would love to have a copy of this book.

      Wow, this is great giveaway. I’m always looking for ideas of things to do with my daughter. Even if I can’t do them now, I like having ideas/books on hand for later.
