4.0 out of 5 stars This is what an overactive imagination can produce, December 7, 1998

By A Customer

This is fun, clever, comical, cute, fanciful and fabulous. Read it, use it, learn from it and just enjoy it - dont' think just read and then try your hand at making pancake sculptures, drawing puddy cats and sunflowers, making a coat of arms and making the best apple pie in the world. Suitable for all ages but you must have an open mind otherwise you might think the author was little crazy when she wrote it!
