Customer Reviews

There are a multitude of reasons to get this book.

I've recommended this book in my latest book for parents, Kindergarten Simplified, for the following reasons: *Your kids can learn to play games that cost very little. *They will learn games that can be played OUTSIDE. *Once they learn the rules of the games, they can learn to self-regulate and negotiate with others without the help of adults. *They will get some exercise instead of vegging on the couch. *They will be able to make friends by knowing how to play a game that other children will enjoy learning to play.
