Family Book, The 

The Family Book is a cornucopia of entertaining activities that everyone can enjoy, packed with illustrations and diagrams. Presented as a grab-bag of ideas and suggestions, it touches on all the different occasions when families can spend time together: weekday evenings, summer holidays, birthdays and special occasions, school breaks — even when someone in the family is laid up in bed recovering from illness. This is a book that presents opportunities for everyone in the family to pull together, to develop skills and interests, to appreciate the talents others have — and, above all, to enjoy simply doing a huge range of things together. Make apple-pie beds, puzzle the family with riddles, have a matchbox race, make a family photo collage — whatever it is you’ll do it together with The Family Book.
