Illustrated by
Alan Tiegreen.
Over four dozen versions of solitaire--including variations and two-pack games--are introduced. Simple yet detailed rules, supplemented with diagrams, explain how to play each game. Tiegreen's cartoon pen-and-ink illustrations help make the book reader-friendly, with anthropomorphized cards providing tips on strategies for winning. Glos.

Marbles: 101 Ways to Play
(4)
4-6
This jam-packed activity book opens with a brief history of marbles and marble-making, explains terms and instructions common to most games, then presents fifty-two games (most with variations) kids can play with their shooters and mibs. The overly bold typeface and humorous, if not always precise, black-and-white line illustrations give the book a rough feel.
