Description: "This highly visual, hands-on activity book shows kids some of the best ways to do great things--from practicing the lost arts of knot-tying, building campfires, connecting circuits, playing jump rope, drawing maps, and writing letters, to learning how to empower themselves socially, emotionally, and in their communities. The final chapter, Do Great Things, inspires kids become caring individuals, confident problem solvers, and thoughtful people who can change the world"--Publisher marketing.

"We're going to warn you in advance; your child will not put this book down. Even better, it keeps children voluntarily off the screens and creating or exploring all the wonderful things the book has to offer...This book will grow with your children and will probably be something that you will want to pass on to future generations." - The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval "This activity book has something for everyone." - The Horn Book, Inc.
