Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-17 00:00:00 Scott Henson I am not sure why the description of this book is in Czech when the edition is described as in English. I read it in paperback, in English. The book is a collection of lectures. Mostly I agree with with Fuller on his ideas for education although of course his language is kind of gendered and old fashioned to modern ears. I don't think is a book you need to rush out and read if you work in education because there are probably more recent books that tout the same ideas. Read it only if you're kind of curious, as I was, about what Fuller was like as a person. It's his own voice. I bet he would have been an interesting professor to have if you were a young man in the 60s, I'm not sure he would have been much help to you if you were a woman. I say that not because anything he says is particularly hostile to women, it's not, it's just that all his work is about "he" this and "he" that as if there were only one gender in the world. A quick trip to the internet reveals he had an aunt who was an early feminist. I wouldn't have guessed it from this set of lectures.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-03 00:00:00 Alex Pinto This was a familiar collection, I think I may have been read as a child. I liked the nursery rhymes included in the beginning. The stories were all the best known tales like red riding hood, goldilocks, billy goats gruff, the turnip and Henny Penny. The writing style is colorful and traditional with some non-G rated endings that involve animals eating each other.
