Title: Not what I was hoping for
Review: At the time of writing this review, I am the only one (out of 7 reviewers) who has not raved about this book. I was very much looking forward to receiving the book, largely based on the other reviews. But when I got it, I was disappointed enough that I actually returned it. Already a believer in the importance of fantasy play, I felt Gussin Paley was preaching to the choir, and I wasn't interested in only reading transcripts from children's fantasy play. The book is very thin to begin with, but without the transcripts there wouldn't be enough to form a book. I was hoping for more insights into how to encourage group fantasy play for the children in my care and how I might direct them most efficiently. Perhaps I would be better off ordering the Tools of the Mind book.
Is the review positive or negative?
