More About the Author
Jacqueline ("Jackie" nee Gilzow) Horsfall had a brainstorm late one night, lying in bed, listening to her young nephew chuckling over a joke book he was reading under the covers. Although she'd written hundreds of children's magazine pieces, the question of how to really entertain kids was solved: Kids love to laugh, and joke books provide the cheapest, most compact form of entertainment, with the added bonus of encouraging reading skills and wordplay. Once she got started pumping out bloopers, knock-knocks, and wacky riddles, she couldn't stop, ending up with a collection of goofy joke books for all audiences, from early readers to preteens -- to adults who still love a good belly laugh.

This review is from: Play Lightly on the Earth (Paperback)
This book Inspires eco-awareness in kids, with delightful games & activities - plus insightful recommendations for teaching young children.
The games & activities in the book are based on sound scientific concepts with an emphasis on creative thinking (making an earth pizza or running through a field in your socks), problem solving, and skill development-all in a guise of play. From high-energy activities to quiet time visualizations (close your eyes, pretend your a baby bird preparing for your first flight from your nest). Jackie's upbeat approach helps establish teachable virtues among our young Earth citizens: empathy & caring for wildlife, respect & responsibility for the Earth, resoursefulness, self-reliance, & cooperation among species. Use this book to create rewarding memory-makers.
