How to Do Nothing with Nobody All Alone by Yourself: A Timeless Activity Guide to Self-Reliant Play and Joyful Solitude

Gave to my son. (Grown up now) He once told me when he was just a little boy that "there is always sum thin ta do mom! You can ride your bike, or color, read a book, go play in the sand, swing or watch a movie. There's always sum thin ta do!" So just last month he sent me a picture of this book and says it has the best title for a book ever. So naturally, I had to get it for him and tell him the little story of what he said when he was all of 4 years old. :)The book is full of things a kid can find to do with odds and ends you find around the house and just use your imagination.

Good reminder of playthings of my childhood. Presentation is mostly text with some drawings. A more lively presentation would make this book more appealing for children to read directly. As it is, I think I shall be sharing or demonstrating some of these games and playthings to engage my grandchildren

Appeared to be new but had yellowed on the shelf.Can't complain because it is an old edition. Understood prior to purchase.Purchased this book for my grandson.It's the book my Dad gave me at the same age.One of my fondest childhood memories was making the darts out of matches and needles.Didn't hurt myself and expect my grandson will also be careful.

I used to read this book as a child back in the Texas Panhandle. It gave me lots of ideas on how to have fun with materials you could find around the house. I still enjoy reading it, and have shared it with my young grandchildren.

What a wonderful book. It brings back a lot of childhood memories. I did many of these activities and thought that no one ever did the same. As it turns out lost of boys did these things, with nobody, all alone, by themselves. It is an excellent companion to "Where Did You Go? Out. What Did You Do? Nothing." by the same author.

Had this book as a kid when it first came out over 60 years ago., Brings back some great memories.

I have to be honest, I didn't read this book. I just think the title is so funny that I had to buy it.

As a kid, I checked this out of the library a bunch of times. I made a lot of the stuff in this: the spool tank, the needle darts, and other things. I still "shoot" clover blossoms at people with a trick I learned in this book. I taught myself mumblypeg with it. Putting this one in the cart for the kids.

No self respecting boy from 8 to 800 should be without this. No one speaks to the child better.Should be compulsory material for all professionals involved with children.I was given an original copy as a child in the (very) early 60s, loved it then, & love it now.

Ok

Very pleased and arrived in time for its intended purpose Thank You :)
