Review:

This is a very beautiful and helpful guide to teaching first day school classes, with enough specific guidelines and hints to make it a comfortable resource for those who may be hesitant to teach. There are 13 chapters, each with enough material for two class sessions. Each chapter includes biblical text as well as references to Quaker or other religious basis for earth care. A very extensive bibliography includes Internet sources and song sources. Highly recommended. LS
