Paley is wonderful at inviting us into our kindergarten classroom to show us two things. First, she is an example of how an experienced teacher treats the children in her care. She provides new teachers with a model of how to encourage their students to explore new topics and to find themselves. Secondly, Paley is very insightful as to the lives of children. Her years of teaching have shown her many things and made her an authority on the minds of 5 and 6-year olds.
This book follows Paley and her students through her final year of teaching Kindergarten. She makes the decision to read only books from a specific author for the year. The author selected was Leo Lionni. Lionni's books are read, presented and interpreted by the children. One student picks up on the qualities of these stories more than any other - she becomes the Girl with the Brown Crayon.
The reader gets a good look at not only how a teacher can guide his or her students into a deeper understanding of literature and with that find lessons to be learned about life through the parallels that are made. Paley also teaches her readers a lot about children. But then, this is only what I saw - the author herself reminds us that "Ultimately...it is the reader (italics) who interprets the writer" (42).
Why 4 stars?: I have read several of Paley's books and have enjoyed them all. This one is no different. Her insights into the world of teaching, education and the joy of children are profound. However, my only problem with this book is that I was not familiar with the Leo Lionni books discussed so heavily in the text. But, don't let that stop you - there is still much to be learned from this text.
