"Never, EVER, Serve Sugary Snacks On Rainy Days," subtitled "And Other Words of Wisdom for Teachers of Young Children" is a favorite teacher's inspiration manual filled with warm, right pictures of children learning and playing and appropriate sage words of advice to their teachers. At first it seems as though the book is written for children too, but then it becomes more clear that the book is written with a loving awareness of the child in each of us. Here is one page's statement, captioning a widely smiling, active boy: "so never apologize when the children tell their parents, "All we did was play." Here is another: "Respect little people for what they can do today, not for what they are supposed to do tomorrow." This small, friendly teacher's manual is full of pleasant creative ideas for improving learning experiences for young children. This book is a favorite gift and tribute to your child's teacher, or to anyone who loves young children and cares about their education." - Nancy Lorraine, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
