About this title

Reviews

Lithgow, children's event coordinator extraordinaire--who knew? This follow-up to the author's well-received A Lithgow Palooza! 101 Ways to Entertain and Inspire Your Kids (2004) is all about parties, either prearranged or spur of the moment. Organized by month, the events happen both outdoors and indoors, including a very creative snow-day event (January), tracking the Iditarod online (March), Popsicle making (June), a "blueberry blowout" (August), backyard exploration (November), pet pix a la William Wegman (December), and 46 more. Lithgow is a great pal, a little silly sometimes, but he never underestimates his audience. Keen readers, for instance, are joyously led to the works of Charles Dickens, Ansel Adams, Georges Seurat, Mary Shelley, and Edward R. Murrow, among many others. Each activity suggests age range, materials needed, running time, and just why it is such a "lollapalooza." An inspired book that's certain to take readers beyond the 52 activities outlined here.
