"This is a very practical and easy-to-use book that has valuable ideas that could be used by anyone who needs to entertain large groups of young children, especially in a library setting. It would be easy to adapt the programmes for different groups and substitute the books and songs for those that are readily available in the library, while maintaining the themes. This book is recommended for children's librarians or teachers who are short on time and require ready-made ideas and activities to entertain and educate young children."
