"If you are using a babysitter or childcare provider, give them a copy of this book!" Matthew Gollub, author of the Jazz Fly books, and Give the Gift! 10 Fulfilling Ways to Raise a Lifetime Reader "I'm always on the lookout for ways to inject our days with a sense of togetherness and wonder, whether during the school year or in the summer. Resources like yours help me to find motivation and inspiration in addition to the practical tips and "how-to". I liked that some of the ideas were easy to implement and required very little prep time (many chapter 6 ideas) while other ideas were for the more advanced thinker who may have done the "easier" ideas already (like setting up discovery stations)." - Jenny Schae (Parent)
