Once I recognised he needed this 'padding' (more so than my other children at the time) and made sure factual material was presented in literary form, it made a noticeable difference to his education.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-77844776364449763432015-03-24T04:35:41.197+11:002015-03-24T04:35:41.197+11:00I had not heard of this book.

I really liked what you said here, "There is no padding and children run up against walls of information which they read and then promptly forget. No ideas are presented and nothing is assimilated." Very insightful!

Slowly restarting and moving into chapter two it has morphed into his favorite book. We do not personally have trouble with old earth concepts and Kingsley for all that his work has a "fantasy" take if you will is so obviously centered on the Creator, ds picked up on that right away. But getting through that first section phew so dense! I will look forward to more posts.
