It's time to switch off the television and do something more interesting. From putting on a show to games on the go, fun for all the family is guaranteed. It's better together.

Within these illustrated pages you'll find humorous instructions on how to: Prove you're a mathematical genius, negotiate your allowance with sign language, and create secret codes! Escape from a charging elephant and make a memorable breakfast in bed. Create a photographic family tree and tell if your dad has been replaced by an alien! And more than 100 other amazing things to do with your family!

The Family Book is a cornucopia of entertaining activities that everyone can enjoy, packed with illustrations and diagrams. Presented as a grab-bag of ideas and suggestions, it touches on all the different occasions when families can spend time together: weekday evenings, summer holidays, birthdays and special occasions, school breaks - even when someone in the family is laid up in bed recovering from illness. This is a book that presents opportunities for everyone in the family to pull together, to develop skills and interests, to appreciate the talents others have - and, above all, to enjoy simply doing a huge range of things together. Make apple-pie beds, puzzle the family with riddles, have a matchbox race, make a family photo collage - whatever it is you'll do it together with The Family Book.

A simple index provides quick reference when looking for something to do on a wet afternoon, or a car journey, or when you need Plan B in double-quick time. Presented in a beautifully blocked cloth cover with a classic retro feel.
