Over to You!

Now that the competition is over, why don't we make this into a more interactive blog? Share your ideas about the Nim games you like to play, or if you're a teacher, how you use Nim in the classroom. Ask me questions about the book or share your thoughts; scan a drawing you've done... whatever it is, I'd like to see it.

I've also had letters from mothers in Mother-Daughter bookgroups doing Nim. Sometimes they dress in 'island clothes', serve a fresh coconut... one group had a dad phone mysteriously from his cell phone, as if he were Jack, lost at sea!

REMEMBER: don't ever put your address on a letter or drawing for a blog - just use your first name.

Now, let's see what happens!
