This was my book club pick last summer, and it was so much fun to do, especially as a group. We each brought our journals to share and had a great time talking about the amount of fun we had with our kids while wrecking the journal. Kids love the idea of burning a page of the book or spitting on it or rubbing the messiest thing you can find on it. It was wonderful as a collaborative effort with other family members.

It amused me, so I indulged. It was fun. Then I hit the second page. "Crack the spine." At first I thought it meant MY spine. Then I realized she meant the book spine. Ouch. I never crack spines. Never. I managed it, but not without a lot of, "Nooo, I can't believe I'm-oh my gosh I just cracked the spine!" Oddly, that will probably bother me more than licking, spitting on, and otherwise tearing it up. I think now that I'm past the spine cracking, the rest will be fu...more

recommends it for:
anyone who likes an interactive book
I really like this book because it reminds me of grade school when you got those "follow the directions" sheets...like: write you name in the right hand corner? skip question three and so on.
It is fun to have a book you can interact with, cut up pages, draw and throw around. of course why would anyone want to do that to any book. =]

I got this book free from the Young Publishing Group. Each page gives you instructions for "wrecking" the journal: "write one word over and over," "poke holes in this page using a pencil," "write with the pen in your mouth," "glue in a photo of yourself and deface," etc. Good for when you're feeling brain dead but have antsy hands.

This is a hilarious book filled with a lot of stupid ways to wreck it. Some include taking it in the shower with you, and using one of the pages as a napkin and taping the page bak in. After you do all the things it tells you to you are supposed to tie it all up and send it to someone. Silly, I know!

I got this book for my younger cousin for christmas, and wound up picking up one for myself. It is fun, experimental, and celebrates the impulse to "draw outside the lines."

I have been reading Keri's blog for ages now. She is a talented author and this is one clever book. It is ok to destroy a journal with experimental art.

I really like the ideas in this book. I have been a little timid in destroying it, but I have started.
