From the Authors Preface:
In this book, I try to emphasize and clarify the chess fundamentals that young players need to know, as a strong grasp of the basics will eventually lead to the strategic thinking that is necessary for advanced play. 
Michael S. Decker, Chess Horizons:
"A fine workbook for beginners, and should succesfully be utilized by coaches, schools or parents looking for teaching materials."
