This review is from: 176 Ways to Involve Parents (Paperback)

There are, in fact, 176 ways to involve parents in this book.

I just think there are that many original ideas in it. But if you're looking for a good overview, maybe a checklist of things you've tried to make sure you don't miss an obvious avenue this would be a good book to have around.
