I purchased this book specifically to use with my after school creative writing class. For many years I have done an exercise with children where they write about a color and how it makes them feel. For my high school and middle school students, this book was incredible.
It's not a book I could sit down and read like a novel, but I return to it once in a while to use as a reference and inspiration for creativity. When I read portions of it to my class they were both impressed and aggravated. It's a great learning tool.
