Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5. A compendium of over 90 amusements for children that includes card games, riddles, street and jump rope rhymes, paper tricks, crafts, brainteasers, and more. Children, their parents, and teachers will find many satisfying alternatives to television in this well-arranged, attractive book. Careful, step-by-step instructions are accompanied by illustrations of the procedures. Lively cartoon characters play cards, mix up play dough, and generally enjoy themselves. Although many of these activities can be found in other sources, and portions of this book originally appeared in the authors' other publications, Cole and Calmenson have added both variations and new activities to the mix. It is this variety and selection that make this a resource that will be used over and over again, for a moment or a whole day when there is "nothing to do."?Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH

From Booklist
Gr. 3^-5. This hefty compendium of things to do provides many choices. The format is just as attractive as in previous books by this trio, and with good reason. As a note on the verso of the title page states, "Portions of this book first appeared in Anna Banana: 101 Jump-Rope Rhymes; Crazy Eights: And Other Card Games; Miss Mary Mack: and Other Children's Street Rhymes; Six Sick Sheep: 101 Tongue Twisters; and Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road? And Other Riddles Old and New." Besides chapters on jump rope rhymes, card games, street rhymes, tongue twisters, and riddles, the book contains sections that feature paper crafts, arts and crafts, word games, brainteasers, paper-and-pencil games, magic tricks, and "string things." The directions make sense, the line drawings are clear and often funny, and the ideas will intrigue children. This is a treasure trove of things to do. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful,
By Angela Harding (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rain or Shine Activity Book (Paperback)
I have checked great numbers of these sorts of books out of the library and often find them to be disapointing, oversimplistic, or impractical. This book had a nice collection of games, rhymes, and craft activities, and seems worth the purchase.
