โHolds great value for the adults who teach kids and the adults who write for them.โ โMac Barnett, U.S. National Ambassador for Young Peopleโs Literature, for the New York Times
โThe ultimate synthesis of Rodariโs exuberant knowledge, a book of both pedagogy and poetics, poetry for teachers and pedagogy for poets.โ โItalo Calvino
โ โA must-have for educators and librarians looking to inject creativity into their classrooms. Rodari provides a thoughtful, informed approach to how imagination and play can foster critical thinking.โ โSchool Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW!
โI hope this small book,โ writes Rodari, โcan be useful for all those people who believe it is necessary for the imagination to have a place in education; for all those who trust in the creativity of children; and for all those who know the liberating value of the word.โ
