While Dabrowski claims that all of these scenes provide monologues which can be used on their own, that's actually a huge problem in itself. Within the scenes, nearly all of the so-called monologues are awkward and un-entertaining; and, as monologues, they're just not that useful, I'm afraid--more stream-of-conscious ramblings than focused monologues that could provide worthwhile practice at character development and acting.
Simply, this book does provide scenes that are appropriate for child actors; however, they aren't good scenes, and many have so many characters involved that the amount of down-time per actor will end up boring students.
