Children, at all ages, expect fantasy to generate – indeed they cannot stop it from doing so – an ongoing dialogue to which they bring a broad range of intellectual and emotional knowledge at a very early age.
-Vivian Gussin Paley, from The Boy Who Would Be a Helicopter: the Uses of Storytelling in the Classroom
