Book - "Kid Control"

I have a great book recommendation for those of you out there who are like me – you are presenting large group lessons and messages in a children’s church type of format whether it’s for the entire time, or for just a small portion. Julian Franklin, a kids and family entertainer has written a great book called: Kid Control… Here is the description form spsmagic.com:

What would it be worth to know the secrets of controlling children's behavior? (Millions, I'd guess!) In this comprehensive book, a former behavior management specialist in Texas public schools, tells all in 19 information-packed chapters. Children's entertainers cannot afford to be without this information. From chapters on Why Children Misbehave to Creating a Safe, Fun, Caring Environment, Julian shares page after page of top-notch, professional advice that really works! His five "Directing Behavior" chapters are worth the price of the book. A professionally produced book of 214 pages with a glossy, full color cover.

I have read this book and it is incredible. To be honost, I don’t know Julian Franklin, nor do I know where he stands on Christianinty. But this guy has the knowledge of children’s behavior and knowing how to direct it durring a large group performance. You could easily adapt it to a children's ministry situation.
