Miles of Smiles
Author: Carole Terwilliger Meyers
$8.95; 128 pages; 26 line illustrations
Anyone who has ever been trapped in a hot car with bored kids is well
aware that they need a sure-fire way of easing the resulting tensions.
This book fills that need and, according to one enthusiastic user, "may
be the ultimate solution for back seat squabbling." It contains games
and activities with travel-related themes. 97 games require just minds
and mouths to play, and the other 4 need only simple props: a penny, a
pencil, and some crayons. Recommended for ages 4+.

". . . an ingenious little volume." --Parents' Press
". . . fun for home as well as in the car . . . On a scale of 1-10,
I would give this book an 8."
