4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, a nice find., November 20, 2007

When I first saw this book the first thing that came to mind was "scrapbooking". As I went through the book I realized that my children had done alot of these things and that I had pictures to go along with their experiences. So for 10 bucks, I use this book as a reference and as an idea book. The reason that I gave it 4 stars is because I don't agree with all of the "things" in the book. I also don't totally agree with the title. Maybe if it would have been "101 things every kid might like to experience growing up" it would have been better. I'm not really good with people telling me what I should do - especially when it comes to my kids. Overall however, I find myself reading through this book several times per year and my kids enjoy it as well.

some of these things I've already done with my kids, however, there are lots of things I never thought of doing with them.

I was really excited about this book because of the other positive reviews, but was not very impressed. A lot of them require money and resources not everyone has (if you live in Phoenix it is hard to build snowmen!). Also, depending on your own personal values of what is important in life, several of these won't matter for you.
