Summary: I wouldn't suggest this book
Comment: I recently bought this book, and then promptly returned it. The opening line of the preface is an unclear, run-on sentence, which concerned me right from the start, and the book is generally overwritten, devoid of proper punctuation, and repetitive. As a result, I feel that using this book to teach writing might be like getting your cat to teach you how to swim. My family did have fun suggesting alternative titles before settling on "Any Child Can Write As Well As Me Do".

Summary: A great addition to the home library
Comment: As a home schooler of seven plus years, we have been using the suggestions and ideas in this book for the past couple of years and have found them most effective. Our children enjoy the activities and I have noticed an improvement in their writing skills which I am sure is due, in part, to these activities. The book itself is a very easy read and I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It's a great resource for those just beginning home schooling and, for those already established, provides some new ideas to add to their programme. For those not home schooling it will assist parents who are eager to help their children improve their writing skills. Well done Mr Wiener and thank you!

Summary: Typical dumbing-down example
Comment: Despite the fact that the author styles himself an expert in the field of educating children, this book is a clear example of the dumbing-down of education in America. The author suggests that parents can stimulate writing in their children by giving them examples to follow. What are the examples he gives? Doing shopping lists and crossword puzzles. The writing samples he gives are atrocious, but they are supposed to express the individual creativity of the child. By the way, I found several examples of grammatical errors. As a professional writer myself, I recommend you stay away from this book. I recommend "The Writing Road to Reading" by Romalda Spaulding as a good alternative.
