Customer Rating: - An invaluable source of information.
I purchased a copy of this book when it was first published, and it is dog-eared from use!! I have loaned it out numerous times to friends who have ALL raved about it, and I continue to use it as a reference as I update my boys rooms as they grow. I HIGHLY recommend it & can't say enough about it!!!

Customer Rating: - Co-design a living & learning space w/ your child.
I have read and enjoyed Miss Logrippo's book titled In My World . I found the book of interest on several levels:


· Miss Logrippo demonstrates a through knowledge of the subject matter.


· She imparts not only decorating ideas but also the psychological and educational reasons for each decorating approach. As an Early childhood teacher it was fascinating to read how room decorating impacts a child's healthy mental and physical growth.


· The author believes children should co-design their rooms with parents to optimize the child's environment for their needs and enjoyment of their living space. If a child's opinions and needs are considered in the design of the child's room then the child will have a vested interest in helping to maintain his room. Many exciting ideas are given to update the look of older furnishings.


I would describe In My World as a "how to" book; but it doesn't read like one.

Miss Logrippo writes with humor and illustrates her directions with antidotes from her career and childhood experiences. I was drawn into the book by the author's writing style
