Other reviewers have rightfully pointed out that the book's viewpoint is rather limited, but I've found it to be a useful teaching tool. I use it to introduce reading literature to my 9th-10th grade students, who tend to be very conservative, concrete thinkers. As an introduction, it's invaluable. (I only mention the conservatism because, having read both this and the “adult” version, the chief differences seem to be an accessibility of language, and an omission of the chapters on sex and violence.)
