"Designed for children under 10, enjoyed by adults."
REFLECTIONS is a rare book that stimulates the intellect in the very young child. Philosophy for a 6 year old? Well, why not? Some kids come equipped with innate knowledge. No doubt you have noticed this. So what instrument do you employ to cause this talent to awaken?
Logic and reason are learned tools which a child accumulates over the years. This process is normal and very valuable. It should be patiently taught and encouraged.
Philosophical thinking is innate. With appropriate stimulus, it can be awakened. REFLECTIONS is just such a tool. Many parents who have scanned through REFLECTIONS, declared it would take a 100 year old child to understand it. After reading it to their offspring the first time, they were amazed at the ease in which their child grasped the contents.
Small children have not yet been preconditioned to the standards of our Culture. Their innate knowledge has not yet been destroyed by well meaning adults. Before this happens to your pride and joy, may we suggest you implement the opening of this door of innate knowledge, rather than sealing it forever? This rare door in the rare child, when stimulated, will set this child apart, and above, his peers.
The newly developing intellect is far too valuable to limit to the conformity of the mediocre. Though contrary to popular belief, leaders are born, not made.
REFLECTIONS is a vehicle, in the form of a book, which feeds the unadulterated mentality of the very young. The child you have in mind at this very moment is indeed the child who deserves this book.
Intended for the pre-schooler, oddly enough, college students are extremely fond of this little gem for debate in their courses of psychology. Both ends of the school spectrum is serviced by this profound teaching.

REFLECTIONS ON A RAINY APRIL DAY is a 23 page story book, lap size, 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches, filled with simple color pictures. It consists almost entirely of dialogue.
A Saturday April thunderstorm has canceled the fishing trip the lad had scheduled with his father.
Relegated to a lonely and boring afternoon in his upstairs bedroom with his pet cat, the boy strikes up a conversation with his Magical Personality. The ensuing conversation is enlightening, funny, and mentally provocative.
Not to be confused with a fairy tale, this story delves into potentials and probabilities in a simple, matter of fact way, that allows the child to accept society's concept of the irrational as rational. This is the proverbial key that opens that special door to unlimited successes. It works!
The Magical Personality with whom the lad converses, is actually his own Inner Self or Higher Self. His Soul, though silent, is pleased to sponsor this sharing of wisdom. Adults tend to have a programmed problem with this. Little children accept it with remarkable ease! This is sometimes the case when the child teaches the parent.
If there is a special child or grandchild in your life, this is the gift for that special someone. Remember, a book is a gift that can be opened every day of the year. When the new toys have lost their luster, the comfortable old book always comes to the rescue. Better to be glad you did, than to be sorry you didn't.
