"This is an excellent book. While showing the reader how to teach and how to engage with children (including those who "don't want" to behave or learn) Johnnie Young shows us a host of ideas and techniques. It is written in an extremely accessible style so you can pick up good ideas from a five-minute dip or you can read it for longer to expand your classroom skills. Teachers will return to this book again and again."
