Children's Book and Play Review

This book is highly recommended for any elementary classroom teacher who would like to use drama to enhance the regular curriculum. The plays could also be used by a professional touring company, which could perform the plays as part of a presentation and workshop for teaching teachers how to use drama in the classroom.-- Rosemarie Howard and Rachel Young.
