This is a unique little book that contains children's imagination games. It teaches parents how to play games involving creative imagery with their children.

It's written by a fiction writer, so it's not a cut-and-dried "do this, then that" description. But it gives the flavor, the words, the direction for games that a parent can play.

Here's a quote from the book: "In making up your own games, see that therules of reality are broken as often as they are kept. Water should run uphill. Dogs should meow. Fish should fly. Outrageous flouting of the rules will help the child to distinguish reality from imagination.

Between your games, don't forget to touch down to reality. A good way is to talk realistically about some of the ideas in the game."

In summary: this lovely little book stimulates the imagination and can help parents play in a different fashion with their kids. This can help children to develop their imaginations, and can be just great fun.
