Her own creativity has come out in full force in this short (156 pages) book that packs quite a punch. She gives us Jack and Jill's plight as a vehicle to show us how the CPS process can be applied to just about any situation. As we work alongside Jack and Jill through the steps of identifying, gathering, clarifying, generating, developing and planning; we are creating our own process to solve our own problems. The illustrations are cute and help convey the light tone the author uses to convey some important messages.
As I was reading this book I was continually finding ways to that I might implement these steps into my own issues. There were many times when I stopped reading in order to write some notes to myself. Ms. Arnold was successful in jump starting my own creativity regarding a couple of things I'm dealing with at the moment. I was impressed that while this book was targeted for a business environment/atmosphere; I could see many instances to implement the process in our everyday dealings.
Out of 5 JEWELS, I give it:
