Format:Paperback
I thoroughly enjoyed my read of "The Really Useful Creativity Book." It reminded me, at times, of the Roger Mc Gough poem, "First day at School" where we're asked to consider whether the purpose of the "railings" is to "keep out wolves and monsters" or to stop us, "running away from lessins." "Lessins," whatever they might be, surrounded by literal and metaphorical barriers into the bargain, sound as enigmatic as creativity itself and here in "The Really Useful Creativity Book," the authors take an informed, optimistic and pragmatic swipe at the slippery wee beastie. The examination of the definition of creativity is engaging and there are plenty of sound ideas to foster creative learners using integrated approaches to lessons. If, like myself, you are a student fascinated by creativity or if you're a teacher, maybe feeling as though SATs have sapped your creative flow, I'd like to think you'd find this book a source of much inspiration.

A disappointment

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This must have been written for folks with absolutely no creative intuition -- the ideas are quite common and boring. My young son's imagination is a better source of inspiration and I would expect the same to be true for anyone with the slightest inclination for daydreaming. Save your money.
