I am very impressed! This is my favorite of the series so far. I am learning so much and found it so inspiring that I immediately wanted to use it. It is very structured and designed meticulously for order and building skills concretely. Authors, please do one for self esteem. I will definitely buy it. You cannot put a price on spiral binding, either. Well, you can, literally, but the value is far higher!
