It's a very elegant book and aims to drive the essential points home. My nephew of 10 years old clearly enjoyed it and I would recommend this book to everyone who is concerned for a kid's attitude towards learning.
i found this useful -- it was laid out in a very matter of fact way which is helpful i think both for adults and children. it can be read fairly quickly and offers you useful tools for dealing with different problems which will arise as you try to learn anything.
After listening to this long long ago I always used one of many things, presented int this lecture, which was also fun, - "when you found a word that you don't understand, never omit it". Results were not bad over those 20 years, when others complained they don't understand something, I never omitted a misunderstood word, so I did. Many more can be told, but let's summarize to this - anything can be learnt easily.
This simple education book is designed for children, but it can help anyone who wants to master the simple fundamentals of study and learning. I used it as a small child, and it really teaches you how to learn and study.
