You're welcome, Ed, and do your kids' school librarians a favor:

Cite the review in PW in case they haven't seen it. (This one may not show up in School Library Journal because of the reading level.)

Most libraries have collection development policies to protect them from being inundated with inappropriate donations -- school libraries, doubly so. Positive reviews in recognized journals and magazines are frequently guideposts for the librarians to use in deciding what to purchase and what gifts to accept.

Ultimately, in school libraries, the extent to which a gift supports curriculum will determine its fate. Positive reviews help, though.
