"Robert E. Myers has used a great deal of "spurs to creative thinking" in the
language arts. This book will be easy to use with children and should produce
excellent creative writing. (It) is itself a creative achievement because, in
ingenious ways, it spurs young people to use their intelligences." - Dr.
E. Paul Torrance
