Make some family values history with your children!

Children and adults will be tremendously entertained by Bobbie Kalman's book which is destined to become a treasured possession in your household. Some of the games require nothing but imagination, like "Pinch, No Smiling," Charades, I Have a Basket and Taboo. Families might especially enjoy the Work Party games, which make shared chores more fun. I wish I could give this book TEN stars! I absolutely love it, and you will, too. Buy extra copies for gift-giving! Let's spread the joy around.
