Can I put more stars?

I am a big collector of Susan Striker's Anti-Coloring books - I have 12 of them and one on the way. But now I have a new favorite (I said that recently about another one of hers - the mystery one, but this trumps that). This one is a teacher's dream, and it was only natural that Striker would evolve her books into something like this. Most of the ones I have just have the anti-coloring pages, which are great by themselves (and are normally printed on just one side of the page so that each one is blank on the back side). Then in her book of celebrations she added suggestions of picture books to use with them. So here's what you'll get in this, most highly evolved book by Striker: - a table of contents (this is the first one I've seen that has one - big help); - an introduction explaining her philosophy on art; - there are 7 themes of activities in this book that you'll see in the table of contents: animal, bird, fish, flower, food, insect, & tree; - each activity (there are 43 of them) is a 2 page spread with instructions for a mini lesson with one or 2 hands-on art projects, book(s) suggestion, materials list, list of concepts, a song, an anti-coloring page, and often some relevant fact; - a glossary of art concepts you will learn (again, a first from what I've seen in her books). Why are you still reading? Isn't that enough? Buy this!
