The Checker Players
Average rating
5 out of 5
Based on 3 Ratings and 3 Reviews

Book Description
An orderly carpenter and a chaotic tinker play a game of checkers, but find it not so easy when two such different creatures try to do even a simple thing together. A great book from which children themselves at school or at home will gather insight into themselves and learn how to tolerate differences and cooperate at having fun. Includes a practical afterword for teachers.
