Wilma Ellersiek, edited and translated by Lyn and Kundry Wilwerth

In Wilma Ellersiek's series of happy games for the dancing, playing hand
the movements of hands, fists, thumbs and pointers fit to the spoken word
in poetry and song. They stimulate the speech center in the child's brain
and promote speech development.

A second group of games portrays animal games. These are magical, as
they transform us into snail, bunny, pony and many other creatures.
They lead us to the wellspring of the joy of existence and active participation
in the world around us..
