This book is very entertaining and exciting with a great writing style. The difference between French and German education is certainly not as great as between French and American, but you can still take a number of interesting aspects and enrich their own parenting style so. But the book is less an educational counselor rather than an entertaining read, especially if you have small children also. However, all information and facts are occupied with sources and you have to read the feeling here a well researched book about education and not just the perceived opinion of an individual. I have long not read a book that captivated me so and was so much fun while reading.
