I went to the week-long seminar at the Institutes and was privleged to see these children and all I can say is WOW!! I have never been so hopeful about tomorrows generation until I saw these well-adjusted, mature and intelligent kids.

Ok the book, like most statistics books is a little dry, but it sure is a hope giver- and for anyone wondering if doing early learning is beneficial or damaging I think this book will prove, to those who can't see for themselves, that there is nothing "damaged" about these kids.

Dr. Harvey, Dean of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential in Phialdelphia, wrote this book for people who wonder what happens to kids whose parents teach them to read at a very early age. While this was not a "scientific" study, the evidence that these are happy, well-adjusted kids is compelling. They may not all be rocket scientists, but they have a confidence and love of learning that will take them far.

Some interesting stories perhaps, but little real data. The "statistics" are lightweight and sparse. Reads like an infomercial for Doman's Gentle Revolution.
