a. Why did you decide to read this book?
Because I am interesting with children so I have to know about them, how to treat
and how to teach them later. It makes the communication well.
b. Were you glad that you decided to read it? Explain.
In this book has many chapters that explain about theories of early childhood,
how they grow, they understand something and how to teach them new materials
that really important to survive a life and many more by some experts. All
chapters increase my knowledge and more understand the right way to teach
early children that make them enjoyable, have fun and relax in a good
environment which support learning process but in purpose.

I think all of chapters are best because it contains of the opinion by different
experts and very important.

3. d. What did you like least?
When reading a book, an annoying thing is when I found new words although it is
good to increase my knowledge but still unpleasant. Besides it I don’t understand
more deeply about psychology field, one of the chapters explains it (chapter 3)
even it contains new vocabularies so it is the hardest chapter to get the message
by writer.

Of course because this book is benefit to parents and teacher who will teach the
children so the process can do step by step for the best future perfectly.
f. On a scale of 1-10, how difficult was this book for you? ( 1 = easy, 10 =
difficult ) Why?
3 because I cannot get the message well of one chapter in this book and also in
each chapters has new vocabularies so I have to look up the dictionary.
