This is a one-book wonder that is creative and easy to implement, covers a HUGE range of material in a clear and uncluttered way. Delivers imagination and creativity without losing accuracy. Amazing at any level and can easily spring board into more ideas for groups... 11 out of 10.

Thank you for a wonderful day last Monday. It was so illuminating and exciting. Really recharged the creative batteries. I know the staff and I got an enormous amount out of the day and will be putting into practice many of the activities... Thanks once again. I feel much more inspired again now.
