"Understanding and engaging children and enlivening their learning is at the centre of Wright's approach. He believes that we need to help children ask questions rather than simply give answers, and much of the book is concerned with getting the best behaviour out of potentially difficult children...The upbeat "top tips" approach of Wright is one which many practitioners will like. He walks the talk and separates the learning into digestible chunks." Kevin Harcombe, Headteacher of Redlands School, Fareham in the Times Educational Supplement, 23/06/06
