My Take on the Book
I know that as a parent I have been in the situation in the past where I am in the car and you say to yourself, I wish I had some games the kids could play that were educational and fun! This book provides this to you and is full of a ton of great games that you can play on the go!

Not only are these games educational and fun, they also get the funny bone flying as well as many are quite humorous and got my girls giggling as we tried a number of the games. One of the things that I liked most was that the games encourage literacy which is something that my wife and I are continuously working to foster.
