Remarks from teachers who tested the lessons in Dreams You Can Count On:

"This guide is easy to use, non-technical and readily adaptable-you don't need to have any background in art. I like the way the lessons integrate themselves across all disciplines, and the resources listed with each lesson put literacy links at your fingertips. Each yearly theme presents topics that are relevant to the daily lessons in the classroom curriculum."-Linda Di Pasquale-Morello, John C. Milanesi Elementary School, Buena, New Jersey
