About this listen
 This enduring classic of educational thought offers teachers and parents deep, original insight into the nature of early learning. John Holt was the first to make clear that, for small children, "learning is as natural as breathing." In this delightful yet profound book, he looks at how we learn to talk, to read, to count, and to reason, and how we can nurture and encourage these natural abilities in our children.

"Holt is a class with Piaget."
—New York Review of Books
"By his vision of what can be done in education, he makes us think in new ways about what is being done."
—The Wall Street Journal
"One of the most profoundly moving books I've ever read, the truest account of how I remember my best learning experiences as a child and an adult."
—Cory Doctorow, author of Walkaway and Little Brother
"The gentle voice of reason."
—Life magazine
All stars
Most relevant
The underlying message of this book would be gratifyingly obvious to those parents teachers and others who enjoy the company of children.

Insightful affirmation of the natural ability and desire of children to learn about the world around them.
