Composed of a treasury of activities for the younger elementary set (pages to color, arts and crafts projects, puzzles, games, etc.) The book is divided into twelve sections, one for each month of the year. Corresponding activities for each month are featured including a calendar page for kids to decorate. I remember when I first got this how exciting it was to look through it for the first time. Each time I perused the book I felt that same sense of excitement and anticipation.

When I last tried to buy this in 2010 it was out of print, but the previous time (2005) I ordered it, it turned out the version I bought was abridged from the one I had as a child. I was able to get a good used copy in 2010 and can occasionally be caught coloring with my teenage daughters. Sorry for embarrassing you , Nicole and Christine.

one of those books I had to find for my kids because I loved it as a child

[Stewart Jarvis-Grove · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another book from my childhood. This is an activity book rather than a reading book and my copy has quite a few of my attempts to colour in the large amount of drawings.

The artwork is very quaint and of a high standard. There are plenty of things to do here and it looks like I attempted every type of activity. There are two drawings I can distinctly remember but I have no recollection of the rest of the book.

As an adult it is OK but as a I kid I can imagine it being great.

Il libro che utilizzavo da piccola è un'edizione precedente a questa. Ho perso il conto delle ore passate a ritagliare, incollare, colorare, costruire...Un capolavoro che andrebbe regalato a tutti i bambini così la smetterebbero di passare le ore davanti alla TV, play station, cellulari, computer, tablet...Si divertirebbero un mondo ed imparerebbero tantissimo.
