Gail knows what she’s talking about, and these ideas are genius - such as using ‘World Ice Cream Day’ as a basis to keep the kids entertained all day (and not just by eating ice-cream!). The book is written with such thought and care, and there’s an emphasis on keeping kids learning - in fun ways! - so they don’t go back to school feeling tired and demotivated. Seriously, it’s the only guide busy parents will ever need.
