I would use this book when teaching about creative writing. I would read them a chapter from this book and talk to the students about creative writing and how they just need to open up their minds and write about whatever pops into their minds. I would then have the students create their own creative story. This would be an excellent exercise for students to do because it will really get them thinking about their writing and this book will show them just how crazy their stories can be.
