"This was a good book. It was very interesting to read her insights in the way children play differently. Some of the things were pretty obvious to any parent who has watched their children play and I don't really care for generalizations about people but all in all it was an interesting read."
"Well, the science-y person in me really wants some cold hard facts to back up any assertion, but this book has some really great anectodotal information based on a very detailed log of a kindegarten teacher recording and observing her class (and herself). It's like being a fly, not on the wall, but inside her head, as she tries to analyze differences in behavior for boys and girls. Your guess as to they "why" behind the what is as good as hers, though. It has definitely helped me realize that dealing with young boys is actually one of my strengths and something that I feel passionate about in education (which is good since well over half of the special education population is male). And, I'm very interested in research in this area. As far as text books go, it's definitely an easy and enjoyable read."
