This review is from: Lessons From the Beach Chair: Nature's Wisdom for Teaching Character (Paperback)

I was visiting Myrtle Beach this spring an ran across this book in a small shop and needed a lift so bought it. It is an okay read but didnt materialize for me when it came to the lessons. I had a hard time getting through it. Great idea and some meat in here for the needy I guess but you have to work too hard to get it.
