Thanks for the entries this contest is now closed

I have a few favourite books that I have out a lot ,read and comment about. I was talking to a friend the other week and we got to talking about how hard it is to find books that teach and are practical. As the conversation went on I knew I had to share my top favourite book Einstein Never Used Flashcards: How Our Children Really Learn–and Why They Need to Play More and Memorize Less

We were walking and talking.  As we got home I was happy to show the book but really couldn’t give up my dog eared copy. I was wondering if we could make a virtual parenting play list……..what books have you read that you feel every parent should read?

Since this is a blog about play books that are play related would be great but parenting books in general are fine.

Contest

• What parenting book is your Top 3 must read list? It touched you in someway and you talk about it all the time or would recommend it?
• Leave the book title ( and author if you know it) in the comments. If you can share a little bit about the book that would be great but optional.

For an additional entry

• Tweet: @playactivities My must read parenting book ” add your title”
