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.

Thanks Karen. Since the last session, when I have lessons that aren't going the way I expect, I have been thinking to myself "What would Karen do". And I remember some of your gifts to us.

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.

I just wanted to congratulate you for a really informative and productive workshop on Sunday.
I am also struck by your generosity of spirit...sharing your ideas, knowledge and creativity with all of us, and therefore inspiring us to greater creativity.
You are a great gift to all children and those working with them!
