My Take on the Book
As a husband to a teacher I asked my wife to explore this book and she stated that she simply loved the book! She stated that the book was full of amazing activities that will allow a child and teacher (or parent) to get outside, have fun, and allow the child to learn along the way. What was best was that each of the activities were simple to follow and easy to implement. The result, pure fun that engages and encourages active play! I have to say that in reading the book myself, I loved how the activities were broken down into thematic areas, allowing the reader to find what they are trying to teach their child and then finding the right activity for the learning goal. The materials that you need for the activities range, but in general you do not need to large a number to complete each activity which makes the goals attainable and the activities less cumbersome. Overall, this was a great book that I would highly recommend!
