Nothing To Do

Nothing To Do by Douglas Wood is a book full of things to be done when there is "nothing to do". It describes things that can be done during an season, at all times during the day. There are simple activities that can be done in the backyard of a child's home, and there are activities that involve travel. The illustrations in this book are beautiful as well. They have such detail. The only difficulty is that some are quite small and each page deserves time to be looked at which can be difficult in a classroom setting. I would suggest this book to be read the day before a non-attendance day at school. It would give the students the chance to brainstorm ideas of things they can do on their day that has no demands. It would be fantastic to discuss the activities each student took part in on their day off. I thought this was a great book to be used for fun a creativity in the classroom.
