Great book, interesting, informative. Arrived on time. Not overly long or wordy. An easy read but also in depth where it needs to be. Would recommend to trainee teachers.

Not as big as I was expecting, which is a bonus as carrying around day after day, could have become annoying. Nice lay out and easy to understand. The perfect book for an up and coming teacher.
