This is another book that is full of creative ideas to do together with your child instead of plunking down in front of the TV for some meaningless veg time. Not all TV is bad, ofcourse, but this book gives you so many great ideas that you won't want to turn the tube back on! It is geared towards elementary school aged children, but has many new activities for middle school and older children as well. A great choice for heading into the summer or facing the long dreary winter!
