This activity book has something for everyone. Twelve sections feature between nine and twenty-two projects and diversions, from baking and art projects to April Fools' jokes and magic tricks, from building a "Chain Reaction Machine" to gardening and birdwatching. Supported by illustrations, color photos, and lots of graphic elements, the sections all open with "6 Quick Challenges" to draw readers in or for easy distraction. The final chapter, "Do Great Things," inspires readers to direct their energy outward: e.g., "Write Sidewalk Sayings," "How to Be a Good Friend," and "Be a Family Reporter." Related websites, "Kitchen Tips," a US map and list of states and capitals, an index, and more are appended.
