Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Everyday Public Speaking
Mark V. Redmond · 2007
61/100
👎 Skip It
This is a legitimate, practical college communication textbook, genuinely useful for its real audience of nervous speakers learning to read a room. But it's an academic text for adults, not family or children's reading, so it sits oddly on a shelf tagged Children's and isn't a strong pick for casual readers. Fine for a speech class, not a must-buy otherwise.
