This review is from: Sanity Savers for Early Childhood Teachers: 200 Quick Fixes for Everything from Big Messes to Small Budgets (Paperback)

This book is an excellent resource for teachers of young children. All (or most) of the stuff you didn't learn in college before you started teaching, like about how there's no space and no budget and you have to be very, very resourceful! Best of all, most of the sanity-saving tips cost little or nothing. I've found it extremely helpful.
