Games for Learning: Ten Minutes a Day to Help Your Child Do Well in School from Kindergarten to Third Grade7 reviews
Peggy Kaye
Farrar Straus Giroux, 1991

An emotional ride from the present to the past.
It was amazing. I read the book quite a while a go, but the images that I pictures were so vivid and the description of the battle of cruelties between the two magics were so imaginative - 5 stars way up!!!
