This is Sylvia Ashton-Warner's first book about the classroom since the publication of her now classic Teacher in 1963 caused rejoicing among "all everywhere who live and work with children." In the years since then, Teacher has profoundly influenced the education of small children around the world, has given impetus to a whole new literature of teaching, and has brought its author out of her native New Zealand to observe and consult with schools in England, Israel, and Asia - but never until now to America.
