When Mother Lets Us Act

Children that love to play pretend will enjoy dressing up and acting out the plays in this theatrical book that combines gentle acting instruction with examples of different plays.

Everything from shadow puppets to morality plays is covered, including acting out poems and songs.

An excerpt from the book:

You see, “playing acting” is only making believe, just as you always do in all your games. You are playing acting when you play “ladies” or “store” just the same as when you play Cinderella or Jack the Giant Killer. And whether you are playing alone or if friends or “grownups” are looking makes no difference.

Any child who can play any game can play acting and do it well.
