About this listen

This enduring classic of educational thought offers teachers and parents deep, original insight into the nature of early learning. John Holt was the first to make clear that, for small children, "learning is as natural as breathing." In this delightful yet profound book, he looks at how we learn to talk, to read, to count, and to reason, and how we can nurture and encourage these natural abilities in our children.

This is one book I wish every adult would read or listen to. It applies most obviously to educators and parental figures of any kind, but no less importantly to legislators, etc. It is the best and rarest kind of education book - one not about educational theories or brain science, but about children as they are. Holt, more than anyone else I've yet read on the subject, can see children as they are. And what's more, he loves them as they are. Let his clearsightedness remind you of what childhood and childhood learning are really like.

Such a refreshing way of viewing children and believing in them! I always tried to read this nook but found the audiobook much more accessible, and will listen to it again and again
