My Take on the Book
This is an illustrated journal with prompts and simple activities that will bring the reader new learning and creative fun. The book is not meant to be followed page by page. Instead the reader may choose the page they are interested in working on. Some pages can quickly be finished and others will take a longer period of time.

Here are some examples of the prompts the author has given the reader: ask your grandma for a recipe, have someone sit for you while you draw their portrait, learn about someone else's religion, plan a picnic, and learn a new word.

There are many hours of active fun in this journal.
