From Simon & Schuster, Please Touch is a guide to how to stimulate your child's creative development through movement, music, art, and play. Please Touch offers parents constructive, age-appropriate ways of developing their child's natural curiosity, energy, and creativity in the formative years before age four. And doing so by leveraging all types of artistic endeavors. In this book the creator of the successful Anti-Coloring Book series attempts to cover the ways in which parents can encourage creativity in their children's preschool years. As a professional in art education, Striker is at her best in giving tips and reassurances about preschoolers' needs and preferences in art. She has done her homework, and quotes from other sources, such as the excellent Susan D. Shilcock and Peter A. Bergson's Open Connections: the other basics (Open Connections, 1980) and David Lewis's How To Be a Gifted Parent (Berkeley Bks., 1979). Though she rambles a bit and might have done better to exclude general child-rearing material, parents will find this a valuable source of ideas. Macmillan Book Club alternate. Allayne C.
