Ali (10) gave me 'Mastering the NimzoIndian' by Tony Kosten. She picked it last year as prize in the UK Chess Challenge. The subtitle 'with the read and play method' is tongue in cheek. The 'look and say method' is a now discredited method of teaching reading. The unfortunate children learning only with this method learned about 300 words during primary school & never more, because they didn't know the sounds of letters.
However, Tony's book is very good. It shows you the pawn formations which you get when you play various Nimzo sequences. At the end of the book is a list of opening moves & were they're found in the book. So you can compare your games to theory.
