Review:

I have been in the entertainment industry making movies for families and young people for over 35 years and it is a rare to run into an educational workbook that is so relevant to both parents and children and presented in such a fun and engaging way for both. Summer Fit speaks to today's families and uses the world of technology and print to bridge the worlds of fitness and education. It is cool, it is fun and above all will make a difference in the lives of children who use it- -- Tim Nelson, Children's Filmmaker; Feature Films for Famalies
