Kids naturally assume that grownups know how to do everything. If they only knew! This book is for any parent who wants to teach their children what the kids really want to learn--even the skills about which mom or dad isn't 100 percent certain. Author Jeffery Lee provides clear, simple, step-by-step instructions for essential 'kid skills' like working a yo-yo, flying a homemade kite, building a sandcastle, skipping a stone, throwing a Frisbee, naming the starts, and planting a tree--guaranteed to make any parent seem all-knowing. The skills range from highly practical to purely fun. Some are simple enough for a four-year-old, and others will appeal to even a jaded adolescent. Each is illustrated, introduced with a funny or touching anecdote from the author, and accompanied by amusing trivia or jokes related to the topic. But they all have one thing in common: You and your kids can do them together.
