The Picture Rule Book for Kids Games, 2006-07-15
by Sharon Walther
Excellent book to refresh an old parents memory on backyard & rainy day games. Illustrations also help early readers develop independence in accessing the game concepts.
An Essential book for Kid's (and teens and adult) Games, 2002-07-27
by K. Sean Buvala (Avondale, AZ United States)
"This book is one of the best you can get for all those basic children's (and teens and adults) games you know you know how to play, you just need to get the reminders. Hey, you might even find a few you didn't know you didn't know. We certainly did and we think we are pretty good at knowing lots of games (and we are humble, too) for lots of ages. Get this book and let it become one of the essentials of your bookshelf, desk and backpack." -Storyteller.net Reviews
