If you are a parent whose idea of parenting is to sit your child in front of a TV program or movie while you do something you want to do, then you absolutely need to read this book. Considering, however, that the people who will probably read this are parents who already try to come up with new and creative things to do, this is the resource that you are definitely looking for. I helped with the homeschooling of all three of my children and ideas like these were so hard to come by. I think kids learn the most from those little, incidental conversations we have such as when buying groceries and teaching them to read the label. The cool thing about this book is that it has a 10 minute idea for each day of the year and is arranged by the calendar year. Ideas relevant to the weather and holidays are right where they should be. Also, the bonus at the end is really a bonus: great advice on teaching your child to read. Literacy is a big issue these days and teaching your child to read well is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. Enjoy this book while you enjoy it with your kids. Lots of fun things to do, take pictures while you're doing them with your kids, and then remember those great memories when they're older. What could be better? My niece and nephew really, really loved this book!
