Review # 1 was written on 2010-01-25 00:00:00 Sebastien Laporte I borrowed this interesting book from the library. It provided a fun glimpse into the childhoods of girls long since grown. Some of the ideas were for things I expected to find - china painting or learning to walk with a cup of water balanced on your head. Others, like making a telephone out of cow bladders or weaving a 26 foot lawn tennis net, were more surprising. Reading about the different ways they celebrated the holidays was insightful as well. Some things have really changed, others, not so much!

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-10 00:00:00 Richard Hagan Recently bought this book to reread it, but I grew up reading it and doing activities from it. Not only is it a window into a different era, it's just full of brilliant things to do and the history of activities. 5/5 stars
