This is not a book worth owning. The majority of the suggested "games" are activities you would do with your child anyways; ones that are easy to think of. There are many repititions, such as a page for sand play three different times. And a lot of the activities suggested are poorly matched to the age it is listed under, very boring and unimaginative, and not likely to "work" as it suggests. I did pick up 3 or 4 ideas. And I was able to skim through it quickly. I would suggest borrowing it from your library.
