This is an old book, and it is what moms like me (dinosaurs) used in the pre-Internet days. I homeschooled back then and this book was a huge help. Even if you have the Internet and Pinterest and whatever else there is, having a book like this is still nice. I got a number of ideas to use for our homeschool, my religious education class and also used one idea for a prayer service I gave for the Directors of Religious Education for our diocese. I am still very grateful to you Dinah Zike! You helped me out when I needed it.

If you like to make things and you run across this book at a garage sale or used bookstore, you won't regret buying it.

I checked this out because it was a recommended companion to my daughter's home school social studies material, Galloping the Globe. Better off checking out Pinterest.
