Kendric Ross; illustrated by John McKay.
'This is a wonderful book. Kendric Ross offers an opulent store of traditional games enriched by a horde of linguistic gems.... Adult readers will find it deeply nostalgic [and] the songs and rhymes will appeal strongly to youngsters who delight in the magic and mystery of language. Those involved in children's education, both in and out of classrooms, will recognise the value of these games that teach but do not preach team-work and social interaction while exercising physical and intellectual skills.'
