Bookworm ? What's a worm ? What's a BOOK?
This 'thing' - in classic Disney/Hollywood' crap
design (in-yer-face obvious) - may become an excellent 'research - prompt' in any modern classroom,
under the rubric 'WHAT IS THIS ?'
I can make this 'thing' pop up, pop down. pop in, pop out, and
appear on my back all to the delight of children + adults. Yet, what's the point ? I can do these
things with heaps of objects. One basic 'point' is, 'folk laugh', it breaks tension, it is
interesting, it may become dramatic...etc, as such capers!!!!!
The printed card graphics
(including conceptualisations) which comprise 95 per cent of this magic package, are - as other
reviewers have noted - out of date... as in 1930's school texts form and design.....and nothing to
laugh about...true sphincter-tighteners
I have up-dated this item, excellently packed and sent
by Penguin, by selecting and using modern graphics - added cost $30, Plus the efforts in re-thinking
how magic performance might operate in modern classrooms.
In a classroom Bob, like a magician
or parent, is simply a teacher's-aide: there to promote learning. So, in my view, this item has the
potential for an educational A+++ - as it stands, it is a bummer... as dead as the out of date
graphics that support it.
