Awards and Reviews:

“Although this book is as an activity and craft book, I would be tempted to call it a parenting manual as well ... activities that promote pretend and imaginative play, volunteerism, random acts of kindness, patience and taking care of our earth through reuse and recycling of items. These are skills and virtues which all or our children, not just daughters, can use in their everyday lives ... With ideas to use with your children from about age 2-12, this is a resource a family could turn to again and again. Highly Recommended.” – CM: Canadian Review of Materials, June 2008

“... activities that foster creativity, self-expression, togetherness, love of nature, and the joy of moving and exploring ... will give parents lots of ideas for fun and inexpensive games and crafts, and will also be useful for daycare workers and teachers, who will be ready the next time they hear, I’m booooored!” – Montreal Review of Books, Spring 2008

“... ideal Mother’s Day gift – and a reliable resource for busy moms all year ‘round. ” – Calgary's Child Magazine, May 2008

“A good variety of activities, everything from word games that can be played while driving in the car, to art projects, crafts ... scrapbooking and interviewing ... if one were deliberately seeking activities to help bond mothers with their daughters, they would find lots to choose from in this book.” – Resource Links, April 2008

"Not only are these books great for parents, they’ll be helpful for new stepparents, volunteers in big brother/big sister type programs, and babysitters.I like how these books have their share of pretend play, physical activity, mental activities, and cooking." – My Readable Feast

“... a fun little book, a reference book, full of quality activities ... I think there is something for everyone here.” – Reading with Becky: Zero-to-Eight Book Blog
