(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Alan Tiegreen. The authors have gathered songs (music included), games, and riddles that are sure bets for entertaining children on long trips. The material is heavily illustrated with cartoony sketches; the instructions are complete and easy to follow. Chapters include license plate games, writing games, and memory games. Much of the material exists in other collections, but this is a cheerful volume with a place on both library and home shelves.
