Last reviews have raved about this. Yes, very nice illustrations and clear instructions but in terms of content, sorry, out of the forty five or so games, I already knew about 20. I expected a little more than the games we all know about e.g. leapfrog, twenty questions ! and if they are to be cited, then more variations should be given. For example, skipping has only a couple of examples. Not all games are going to be suitable for your kids either. For example, a lot of games require 4 or more kids, only a few are for the car and these are for older children. Overall, this big book is little on games - certainly not a extensive 'resource' for teachers.

This book is so cute. I love it's illustrations and the fact that it covers so many games I remember from my childhood but had forgotten exactly how to play. I was interested in this book because I was planning a birthday party for my son and needed some game ideas. It was helpful for party planning and I liked the fact that it was divided into sections such as "Outdoor Games", "Indoor & Party Games", "Car Games", & "Singing Games". Yes, as the last review stated, many of the games are common ones that you may already know. However, for those of us with younger children that may need a refresher course on childhood games, this book is ever so helpful. I'm sure you will find games that are new to you as well as heartwarming ones that will bring back memories from your childhood. I highly recommend this book!

Hello Everyone! I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did working on it with my friends at Dutton! The project & painting took over two years to complete. I wanted to create a book that reminded me of the fun I had playing as a child before we knew about computers or expensive toys. I truly hope the book inspires everyone to put on their sneaks & just play! Dorothy Stott

See this book is about Skyflier one of the My Little Ponys and Spike the My Little Ponys friend. He has to remember to find something for Bowtie. So him and Skyflier look around the pony village. As they go along they count how many things they find. At the end of the story Spike finds what he is looking for. This book has very easy words in it so anybody can read it.
