Picked this up in a Little Library while visiting grandchildren. Of course I knew most of the "tricks" from 39 years of parenting, but it was a fun read.

Finally somethig to pull it all together! I keep it with me wherever I go. I learned how to balance a spoon on my nose and a few jokes that make me funny (a hard thing in my house of goofs)!

Fun little book with ideas to entertain children. I read a similar book a few years ago, but this one seemed to have better tricks and instructions.

great resource, but it would've been better in print due to the different font types and shading
