Advice from a Mom. This delightful book would make a great gift for young people and an interesting read for all of us. Would hope to see this book in all the public and school libraries.
So far, so goodOctober 1, 2008 [...] I am in the process of reading it. It is very practical and I like the fact that my 14 yr. old likes it and agrees that a strong work ethic is important and a good thing. I also have an 11 yr. old who I want to read the book with. Money well spent.
Great work for kidsSeptember 30, 2008 Read the book quickly and easily, and there are plenty of gems there for kids of all ages. We have begun to read excerpts to our five year old, and will use this text as a study guide for him when he is older. The ideas behind this book are what made America great more than two hundred years ago, and they can help bring us back to those times.

This is a great motivation book nice to to see young kids with a goal in life.
Good RefresherSeptember 30, 2008 I've grown up with a lot of the insights that these kids have and it was good to hear them again as a refresher. I'm also happy to hear that there are some good parents out there giving their kids real world education at home instead of relying on the government/schools to provide that, which they don't.
