Like Franki, I grew up playing outside, although I never did outgrow it... give me some sticks and rocks and sunshine and anything wild that wanders by any day.

Love the idea of playing gas station in the driveway.<br /><br />I confess to being like you -- played a lot outdoors growing up, but I'm more of an inside person now. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this new book. Marilyn's poems are always a delight. :)jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-24666421664495781712012-02-17T10:15:01.682-05:002012-02-17T10:15:01.682-05:00Looks like such a fun book.

The first toy is a stick. My favorite childhood play was climbing trees. Now I have trees in my front lawn big enough for my grandson to climb. Happy memories!
