You're It!: A Hop, Skip and Jump Through Childhood Games

Description

You're It! is a brilliantly observed hop, skip and jump down memory lane; a celebration of the days when you used to get home from school, hop out of your school clothes, skip over to your best friend's house and jump around all afternoon until Mum called you in for tea. Nowadays, those classic - and universal - games of Hopscotch, Skipping, Bulldog and Hide and Seek are almost forgotten, rarely played, rarely passed on as generations come and go. With You're It! you can relive those fun and silly games in this beautifully illustrated, wonderfully nostalgic book celebrating the games we remember from our childhoods as well the days themselves.

Katie Hewett is a freelance editor. The idea for You're It! came from her two young children forever finding new games to play and exhaust their poor mother. She lives in Croydon.
