I am the “Forever Mommy” of three wonderful children under the age of 9. I actually laughed (ALOT) while reading this book and felt tremendous relief to read that I am not insane! Many adoptive families go through the same intensity that we do. There were many great ideas that worked wonderfully – in fact the counselors, doctors and social workers actually wrote down some of the ideas for future reference for other families.
I sent a copy of this book to my mother to give her some insight and education. This is a MUST READ for all family members blessed with an adoptive child!!

The Great Big Book of Children’s Games is full of fun games of all sorts: Ball Games, Water Games, Chase Games, Card Games, and so on. Many of the games are well-known childhood classics, but many of them are either foreign or totally new.
The book offers lots of ways to play versions of popular games with a make-your-own version. Naturally, it doesn’t tell you explicitly, “Don’t buy game X, you can make your own!”, but it does give great instructions on how to make paper playing boards for games like Shut the Box, Beetle (like a drawing version of Cootie), and also how to get the most out of a game like Checkers.
As far as outside games, it can’t be beat, there are dozens of variations on classics like hopscotch, hide-and-seek, and that eternal favorite: tag!
This book is a great gift idea for Moms, Teachers, Daycare Providers, and it’s a great one to leave around for the teenaged babysitter if you’re going out and you don’t want the kids to spend the evening in front of the TV. Wonderful!
