Awesome Back to Basics Book

My kids live in the "electronic - I need to be entertained all the time" era. Trying to get them outside to get fresh air and exercise is a challenge. They claim being outside is "BORING!!!!" Not anymore! Their excuses dissipate when I hand them this book and say, "Find something from this book to play. These are the games I played with my friends before there were video games, computers, cable TV and DVD's." They are having an absolute ball!!! Would recommend this book to anyone!
