This is good book. I rated it a five because if you were looking for ideas on bears, space or any of the many thematic units discussed in this book, you would find many ideas in this book. Also, many of the ideas in this book can be adapted easily up or down by a year or two. However, it is my belief that any creative teacher can sit down and come up with most of these ideas by his/herself. I was looking for something new and exciting and different and this book did not offer that for me. I'm not sure that it is worth the mony if you are a teacher who already has a large set of idea book or if you are very creative. If you are beginning though or you do not see yourself as creative and want some ideas, this book may be a good start. Enjoy.

While this is billed as a Kindergarten book, I have found it very helpful in planning for my pre-K class. The children and I have enjoyed the activities and the expansion of our unit lessons.
