Family dinner fun gets a shot in the arm with the
Family Flip Quiz Book.

The spiral bound book stands upright and offers 15 trivia questions per page to tease your brain. Although the publisher has several themed versions, we use the original general knowledge book and have pondered questions such as:

1. What is the official language of Brazil? Portuguese
2. Pneumonia affects which part of the body? Lungs
3. Who ate Turkey Lurkey? Foxy Loxy

They say trivia questions keep the mind sharp and it
 certainly keeps the conversation from being dull.

A familiar story with cute pictures; Frieda refuses to eat her supper. Instead, she asks to have a cookie. Mr. and Mrs. Paws (who have obviously taken a Love-and-Logic Parenting Class) handle this all in-stride. 

There’s been many a dinner at our house when Frieda’s name has entered the conversation – it’s the best way I know to get little-boys to eat their green beans.
