UNBORED: THE Essential Field Guide to Serious Fun

Sun, 02 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT

From a review of UNBORED by Melanie Notkin, Savvy Auntie founder:

I recently discovered a lifestyle book that encourages nieces and nephews to use not only their tech skills but their natural curiosity to be creative, try new things, figure out how things and systems work, and just maybe change the world in the process. Yes, this book can actually have a really meaningful, positive influence on the children you love most.

The book is UNBORED: THE Essential field Guide to Serious Fun (Bloomsbury hardcover and eBook) by Joshua Glenn and Elizabeth Foy Larsen, parenting writers for Slate.com, and designed by Tony Leon. The thick volume is a full-color, illustrated all-in-one guide and activity book packed with fun, doable activities that encourage kids—along with their beloved Aunties —to get engaged with the wider world.
