I was a little girl growing up in Japan, and took this book out of our school library every week for about three years. I pored over the stories, crafts and fun and loved every minute of it. I hope you love it as much as I did. I was eventually given a copy by a librarian friend of mine, and although it's in rough shape I treasure it!
Kids' America=Fun

This is a favorite from my childhood. My brother and I pored over its pages in search of games to play, things to build, art, or scary stories. Each section links the activities to American history or how this is a part of American life. A great resource for home schoolers.
Great book for anyone who interacts with children!!!!

This book is a great resource for the "all american" crafts. The little history that the book gives on each craft is a great learning tool for childen of all ages. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with children from the sunday school teacher to the scout leader.
The Perfect Gift for teachers everywhere!

Kids America has served as a great resource in my classroom for almost twenty years. Kid curious topics like handwriting anaylsis, candle making, crafts of all sorts and even how to make cheese are among hundreds of just fun things to do. I highly recommend it
A GREAT handbook for any upper elementary teacher

Make Cheese? Make and use a quill pen? Learn to do handwriting analysis? A thick repository of kid curious topics that makes a great source for anyone who shares the spirit of the young adolescent. I have used this book as a resource for almost twenty years. Makes a great gift for that aspiring student teacher!
