The best of the bunch. SO MANY good ideas in here. Non repetitive and truly unique. All of her books are fantastic, but this one is my favorite.

Some really good activities here, great for older children because she is writing directly to them as if having a conversation, so not so much for preschoolers, although there are some they could do. A good range of activities from physical things, science experiments, card games, crafts, things to make like doll houses and board games, activities for individuals and groups. I am glad I have it on the shelf.

I really enjoyed this book, which was chocked full of ideas for kids to do on rainy days or anytime for that matter. Some ideas I have tried myself or done before with my children, but this book offered so many more! I have shared some of these ideas with my friends and will pass this book on to my daughter, so she can put it to good use with my grandchildren.
