"The images are pulled together by Bean’s sunny-day colors, predictably wavy lines and bright, happy-looking people. What’s happening in them looks like life....To those who worry that home-schooled kids are missing out on something essential to success, one could always point to this book and simply say: Bean turned out O.K., didn’t he?"
