Year Round Things to Do

In 1966 Penguin Books published a little handbook for children titled Something to Do. It became a much-loved part of many households, and over 40 years later it is still brimming with ideas and ‘things to do’. Each month features both indoor and outdoor activities as well as a seasonal poem and birdlife to look out for. From making igloos and winter picnics to keeping rabbits and flying kites, and including guides to fishing, gardening, knitting, baking and traditional games like ‘Beetle’ and ‘O’Grady Says’, here are all the childhood pastimes that never go out of fashion. With original illustrations and a new binding by Shirley Hughes, this delightful companion will keep readers of all ages happy all year round.
