I just finished this book & I'm glad I took the time to read it. I went ahead & checked it out from the library b/c it seemed I was #11 in line forever. I think it is a good read, some parts are "skim-able", not a reference type book so not a keeper for me; but it had some great ideas & made me stop & think about my children's play time & how to improve it. I definitely recommend it.
