About This Item
Morrow Junior Books, 1996. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. Karen Dugan color illustrations. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1996 Morrow Junior Books hardcover (pictorial boards) & dust jacket (price-clipped), first edition, first printing. Wonderful color illustrations by Karen Dugan. Large world map showing the countries represented in the book. Bumped bottom corners. CONTENT: Langford has collected 14 variations on the familiar game. From "Otedama" in Japan to "Maakgep" in Thailand to Texas, detailed directions and rules are presented along with brief, interesting facts about the countries in which the games originated. The colorful watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations fill one page, with the text preceding it on the left-hand page. While competently done and attractive, the artwork is occasionally misleading in its depiction of very young children. The text is written for competent readers and the dexterity involved in the games also suggests an older audience. This is appropriate for multicultural classroom units and would make a good teacher resource for indoor recess.
