Book - Parent
From School Library Journal Grade 2-4-Parents have a variety of reasons for homeschooling, but none are given as to why Allison's parents have made that decision. The book is a look at the situations and lessons Allison and her sisters face each day. The pictures show a somewhat unusual household with parents who are highly committed to giving their children a well-rounded, full school day. It appears that Allison sleeps on the floor, and that her parents may have some political motives behind their choices, but these issues are not discussed. All this aside, however, the book is a good introduction to home education, and Allison seems to be a bright, independent, and creative child. A good "kid's-eye view" of the topic for those who are unfamiliar with this educational alternative.
