- Description: बच्चों की व्यवस्थित शिक्षा एक अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण तथा संवेदनशील कार्य है। विशेषकर 14 वर्ष की अवस्था तक के बच्चों को पठन-पाठन के लिए प्रवृत्त करने तथा उनके आधिगमिक स्तर को बढ़ाने के लिए उनकी मनःस्थिति, परिवेश तथा भाषा को ध्यान में रखना शिक्षक के लिए आवश्यक होता है। यही कारण है कि लेखक ने पुस्तक में व्यक्तित्व विकास के विविध चरणों का वर्णन करते हुए तत्समय की वयोजन्य विशेषताओं और शिक्षक द्वारा ध्यान देनेवाले बिन्दुओं पर प्रकाश डाला है। कुछ बच्चे कक्षा में औसत से कम आधिगमिक प्रदर्शन करते हैं। प्रस्तुत पुस्तक में स्पष्ट किया गया है कि ऐसे बच्चों को शीघ्रता में मानसिकमन्द बालक नहीं मान लेना चाहिए; बल्कि उनके परिवेश का अध्ययन कर, वास्तविक निदान कर शिक्षक द्वारा यथोचित निर्णय के साथ बच्चे से व्यवहार करना चाहिए। विद्यालयी शिक्षा के सन्दर्भ में शोध की महत्ता पर भी बल दिया गया है। एक बहुत ही उपयोगी और महत्त्वपूर्ण पुस्तक।

- Description: हिन्दी में 5-7 साल से 13-14 साल तक के बच्चों के लिए मनोरंजक लेकिन शिक्षाप्रद एवं प्रेरणादायी कहानियों का अभाव लगने पर मन हुआ कि कुछ लिखा जाए। आसपास जो कुछ भी पहले से रचा हुआ था, उस पर नज़री डाली तो कई सारी कमियाँ नज़र आईं, जैसे—अधिकतर किताबों या कार्टून सीरीज में कहानी का नायक लड़का है, लड़की नहीं। इसके अलावा दशकों पहले लिखी गई कहानियों से आज के दौर का बच्चा ख़ुद को जोड़ नहीं पाता, उनसे सीख नहीं पाता। आज के समाज के बच्चों की चुनौतियाँ भी अलग हैं। बच्चे खेल के मैदान में नहीं, मोबाइल फ़ोन के गेम में उलझे हैं। स्कूल सिर्फ़ उन्हें नौकरी पाने के तरीक़े सिखा रहा है, अच्छा इंसान बनाने के लिए कोई प्रयास नहीं है। भला हो दिल्ली सरकार का जिसने अपने स्कूल के बच्चों के लिए हैप्पीनेस करिकुलम शुरू किया। बच्चों के लिए हिन्दी की कहानियों की उपलब्धता और उनकी आवश्यकताओं के बीच के अन्तर ने इस किताब को जन्म दिया। —इसी पुस्तक से टपकी और उसकी दिलचस्प दुनिया। इसमें हर बच्चा अपनी हिस्सेदारी महसूस करेगा और हर बड़ा इसमें दाख़िल होकर बच्चा हो जाना चाहेगा। —आबिद सुरती
