This is a great book!
This is a great book to read,it gives you great tips on writing book reports.I am homeschoooled and I found this book very helpful.

Very helpful
My son found the entire text helpful in our learning process of book reports. I homeschool and we try to find books to help him learn on his own, this book was perfect for it. He was able to easily follow the directions and apply them to real reports that I require he write for me once each month on a book he has finished. We used this for our fifth grade curriculm writing.

Lots of helpful information
Having just sent our one and only off to college, without a lot of trauma, I finally had some time to investigate what I thought I "should" be doing! This was the first book I read, and I found lots of helpful information, especially about networking with other parents in the same boat. I appreciated the advice to give your kids the freedom to grow, while still allowing them to use the safety net - a balancing act we were already trying to acheive. I also copied the section on how to do laundry and sent it to my son - it should be required reading for all college students. I no longer get laundry brought home on school breaks! Yeah. The dirty dishes coming home were something else, but I couldn't ban the laundry - until he felt capable of doing it himself (with a gift of quarters of course!).

Great book for parents!
This book is a must-read for parents of college students, especially empty nesters for the first time. As author of The ABC's of College Life, a street-smart guide dishing out the inside scoop on college life, I highly recommend When Your Kid Goes to College as the ultimate survival guide for parents!

A marvelous book for parents
Our freshmen advisors and other staff who interact with parents think that When Your Kid Goes to College is a "must read" and a great resource book for parents. Although my copy is still circulating around campus, I intend to get it back and keep it handy for my own personal use when my son goes off to college in a few short years.

The book was good but to basic for most people.
The book offered good information but really basic information. The book also didn't have any tips for getting started except make a flyer.So i recommend getting another babysitting book.

The New Complete Babysitter's Handbook is awesome!!!
This book gives you all you need to know about babysitting and is fun to read. I think it is quite descriptive on the processes of first aid and so on. I think everyone will enjoy reading this book, kids who are just starting to babysit or who already babysit but just want to brush up on stuff.

Great
This book and another book called SURVEY OF 300 A+ STUDENTS
by Kenneth Green, are the two best books on study skills,
in my opinion.
