Extraordinara , este cuvantul care poate descrie cel mai bine aceasta carte , cred ca am cumparat 5 exemplare pana in acest moment pentru apropiati , cartea propune invatarea prin proiecte ceea ce permite o mai buna asimilare a informatiilor , imi place in mod deosebit faptul ca toate exemplele sunt pe tesatura si nu doar ilustrate
