Synopsis

Children use these imagination games that bring the worlds of facts and fantasy into harmony. With a parent or teacher as guide, children explore situations at school, home, and other settings. A reader writes: "This book is so much fun for children of all ages. I played the games in this book as a child, about fifteen years ago or more. It still sticks out in my mind as a great way to get your creativity and imagination working. I love this book and highly recommend it as a way to spend time with your children on a rainy day. Learn to make your imagination grow."
