", Babes In Bookland By Dorothy Robinson IMAGINATION "Unlock a child's imagination and she will discover a world of dreams." * The calendar.in my bookroom has a monthly quote abotrt children, ■ and the one above interested interested me because at the time, I was re-reading what Michele Land- sberg had to say about awakening the imaginative powers of children with books. t • She quotes Ted Hughes, the English poet, to provide a succinct definition..Imagination is the faculty of creating a picture in our heads and holding it there while we think about it." Landsberg decries the. crippling effect that.constant viewing of television has on mv agination. Viewers accept pictures created by others, and if no alternative alternative media are offered, their creative juices are in danger of drying drying up.
