When I saw the description of this book I thought it would be a perfect guide to some kind of creative mental play with my young daughters. I thought that it would help to stimulate their reasoning and to get them thinking in different and unfamiliar ways. If only the writeup about the book had made it more clear that this is really for teachers of young children and that most of the games require large groups, I would've made a more cautious purchase. Unfortunately it is really not aimed at mums looking to expand their children's thinking capabilities and as such, was of limited use. It is also peppered with transcripts of young children's dialogue, which is tedious at best and seems like padding to me.
If the book had been a third of the price I would not have been so disappointed, but the ratio of cost to satisfaction was very poor.
