Comment: It looks like it got multiple reviews from the Horn Book Guide and one from the Junior Library Guild, as well as one from the School Library Journal. ([1]) The SLJ also lists it as a recommended read for Islam in the classroom. I'm just starting out with searching, but I am finding evidence that this is used in classrooms as well, but that doesn't surprise me- Clements work is usually a school read. I'll see what else I can find. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:48, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It took some digging, but I managed to find multiple reviews in various RS, mostly academic/teacher type of journals and magazines. Kind of impressive in that it managed to get a writeup in a magazine/journal issued by a rival publishing company. I also found where it's mentioned by various different schools and school-type books ([2], [3], [4]) that show that it's being used in classrooms. In all fairness (lest anyone start waving trouts around), this stuff wasn't exactly easy to find and it did take a bit of work to unearth. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:13, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
