All the grousing about rules misses the point that child's play very often is an imitation of adult work. Many kids would have wanted to "play railroad" with their trains. That is what the book is about (I have one). It is thin for a practical guide, but a good jumping-off point for the imagination. Creative children are forever structuring their play; those of us who are grown weary of adulthood and its rules, and want to cast them all off, were never the target audience for this little pamphlet.
