So I saw this book featured on the Today Show a few weeks back. In the segment this father was talking about how this book got his son outdoors more and away from the television and video games. So I bought the book as Joe's Father's Day gift. This is such an awesome book! I would definitely recommend it...especially if you have any boys. In this book it walks you through how to build a tree house, make a water bomb, make a go-cart, how to skip rocks on water, how to make a paper airplane. They are things to get your kids outdoors! Who really wants their kid sitting in front of a tv all of the time?! It also has chapters on pirates, the Declaration of Independance, cloud formations, fishing....the list goes on and on. I have found myself sneaking peeks at it. I know that as Zachary gets older he and Joe will find the many things that they can do together.
