Loved this book! This was a great guide to have while I was homeschooling my two older children. Although my son was a little too young for this he did join in on a few activities with his older sister. There are tons of great activities that add up to hours of family fun! It was also loaded with wonderful advice to help your child prepare for Kindergarten. It really helped us create lasting family memories!

Lots of fun activities to do with your child and great suggestions for helping them with learning "school" or "educational" oriented activities. I do think the book downplays the importance of freeplay and imagination in a child's life.
