your friends!
With something for everyone, these ingenious tricks and tales
are developed and taught with utter simplicity, making them suitable

a section on origins, hints for teachers and performers, and an 'Invented
by Children' section
Michael Taylor is a Steiner School teacher and Bothmer gymnast
