Place based education at its finest...

This book is an amazing resource that teaches us a way to create learning treasure hunts for our communities. It is the first rung on the ladder of teaching our children the principles of sustainability. By developing a joyous and fun-filled method to experience the history and special attributes of the town or "place" in which you live, you are empowered to re-invest that community with an inate and intrinsic value. This book teaches a powerful antidote to the destructive and destabilizing force of the corporatization of small town America, and shows a deceptively simple and beautiful way to teach your children about resisting the urge to be assimilated and become "Anytown USA". I strongly recommend this book for anyone who has a community they love and a role in the shaping of young minds.
