Notability. The only cited reference is a copy of the book, and several searches of different Google search engines produced no results except the book or places to purchase it. It has not won any major book awards, and was not a bestseller. LM103 (talk) 03:39, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

- Keep. The reviews could be considered light, but I've found a ton of educational themed books and pages from various sources that show that it's being used in schools, libraries, or similar.

All in all, this book manages to just satisfy the requirements of WP:NBOOK.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:22, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

- Keep It's widely-reviewed for a children's book, though not by the standards of many adult genres. However, there's enough material to add a section to the article on educational use of the book, and I think it's clear that overall there are enough sources to allow a reasonable article to be written. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:29, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
