A short book of how to recall lists and enhance your memory. The method of memorizing a single song to connect between only a specific set of words with any list in the world, which is implemented in this book, is childish even for children, not to mention that it is horribly time consuming and impractical.

Honestly I felt like I was reading a book for five year olds.
And the mechanism isn't very helpful because, picture this: I'm at the supermarket and the guy asks me if I need anything else. "Yes, but please give me a couple of minutes to recite the kids' song to remind me."
I don't think the book adds much.

"In fact, remembering is easy when you know how."
"You didn't have a problem with your
memory. All you needed was a way of remembering.
Each of you has an excellent memory."

This book took a different approach to memory than I was expecting - it puts it in a format for children to easily learn. It also functions as a coloring book once the practice is done, as well as having spots for workbook-like exercises that your kids can color (or you can, if you are still trying to get the hang of memory pegs).
If you've done any reading on different types of memory techniques, this book focuses on using pegs (and of course, the silly stories). It provided a new 10-item list that I hadn't previously considered, one taken from the "This Old Man" song. That's perfect, as just the other day I was trying to put together several medium lists but came up 10 short (I used the pencil list via Tony Buzman - 20 items - and the major system - another 10). So it's great to have 10 more pegs for short lists.
The book does a great job of putting memory techniques in a way that even small children can use. While they aren't particularly difficult, the coloring book/illustrated quality lends itself to interesting even little kids.
One thing I have always struggled with, however, is using memory pegs for dated items. One thing the kids are originally tasked to remember is a birthday part. I suppose you can peg it with the date and time, but it terms of practicality, a list doesn't seem like the ideal way to remember what is happening when (unless, perhaps, you have a single list for your whole year?). That said, I'm far from an expert, so I'd be interested in hearing how it could work out. I suppose you could have your "to do" list for the day and just keep moving the party over.
It's an interesting concept, and I'll give it an extra star for both its efforts to include smaller children and its inclusion of a new set of pegs I haven't seen before.
