3.0 out of 5 stars Better for Older Kids, April 21, 2008

By	C. Nava "CynCat" (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book to try and get some ideas for fun and interesting activities that I could engage my daughter in so that she could learn at the same time. I was really excited about getting this book because I have found that I have run out of ideas fairly quickly.
After receiving and reviewing this book, I found that, though there are a lot of fun activities listed, none were all that appropriate for my 18 month old. I think that this book will be a great resource as she gets older, and I try and modify activities for her learning level. However, I would probably recommend that those considering purchasing this book, make sure that you are purchasing it for kids who are 3 and older.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, December 17, 2007

By	A. Rhoads "Sian" (Washington DC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A little small, but a great book. Some parts repeat themselves, but the ideas to keep toddlers busy and keep our sanity in check makes up for it all.
