Hooray for Dennis Deneberg!

To begin, an admission. I'm a fan of Dennis Deneberg: his teaching, his writing, his astonishing skills as a speaker. Heroes? Of course we all need them. Today's kids, too often, only know tabloid heroes. Dennis's books will broaden their horizons. They are meant for teachers, parents, and children to use as a foundation--for further reading, for discussions, for projects. I recommend them highly. Joy Hakim
