Summary: Turn off the TV and have some fun!
Review: As a mother of two young boys, age 6 and 8, I can tell you that kids would much rather plop down and watch cartoons rather than make their own fun. Ms. Ellison's book has changed all that in my family. Now the kids flip through the book with me to find an activity they'd like to do, and don't even complain that they're missing their favorite TV shows! My oldest son has even started a club for the kids in our neighborhood based on an activity in the book. Thank you, Ms. Ellison, for helping my family turn off the TV and turn on their brains!

Summary: great!
Review: I babysit for 2 little kids, and this is like a Godsend! All the activities in this book are do-able, and actually really fun. Every single one is fun and you can do all of them with your kids! It's terrific! Plus it gets them AWAY from the TV.

Summary: Great for anyone who plays with kids!
Review: I nanny for a couple different families that have kids of different ages, and this book has been incredibly helpful to me. I do not go to work without this book. The kids know by now that it's full of fun activities and that they'll never be bored when I'm watching them. I've found that many of the activities can be modified for younger children when you are playing with some younger and older kids. This book is a great resource.
