"Mark Wilensky’s The Elementary Common Sense of Thomas Paine is absolutely fantastic, perfect for use inside and outside the classroom. We just ordered thirty additional copies for our new teachers. I highly recommend it."
- Marjorie Freyer, Coordinator, Teaching American History Program, The Tuscaloosa City and County Schools and The University of Alabama
"This book has the potential to encourage youth to become fiercely American in a way similar to that of the revolutionaries who founded this great country. This adaptation is a most readable text."

"The Elementary Common Sense of Thomas Paine is a wonderful teaching tool."

"Wilensky, a fifth grade teacher, really knows his stuff. He makes material that is as dry as bone fun to read, and the information on the Web site adds extra depth. . . . anyone teaching American History, either in a classroom or as a home-schooling parent, will want this book on hand."
- Roxy Ekstrom,
Voice of Youth Advocates
". . . an excellent gift to a student, teacher or school library."
