The Book of Card Games for Little Kids

By Gail MacColl

Book Overview

A full-color deck of cards specially designed for little kids (no numbers or reading required ), plus a lively book of 33 animal-based card games that are easy to learn and fun to play. Deal out Noah's Ark, and save the Lions, Hippos, and Zebras from the flood. Win lots of "nibblies" in Feed the Kitty by getting rid of your cards first. Bark when you spot a matching pair in Woof. And avoid fishing from the Amazon. Gather your friends, your brothers and sisters, your parents - your baby-sitter - and get ready to have a blast with more than 30 card games. The only hard part is deciding which one to play first. Packaged with the two-color illustrated book is a customized, oversized, four-color 40-card deck that features ten different animal "suits" of a mother, father, brother, and sister. (No number skills required ) The illustrations are bright and cheerful-skateboarding elephants, jump-roping rhinos, giraffes, tigers, and other animals-and all but irresistible. These cards and games are specially designed for the littlest members of the family, who - along with their siblings, friends, and parents - will delight in extra-fun, extra-noisy games that require barking, roaring, shouting, slapping, and sometimes even jumping around like a monkey.

Customer Reviews

wonderful

Our family loves this game or rather the multiple games we can play with the deck. Our children range in age from 5-12 and we can all play together. We like it so much we bought it for two of our friends with children

Awesome book for kids and parents!

We bought this for my 5-year old daughter last year, and we play the games from this book on a *daily* basis. Our 3-year old joins in to play some games as well. This package includes a Game Rules book plus a deck of 40 cards, which uses Family Members (Father/Mother/Sister/Brother) instead of the typical Hearts/Diamonds/Clubs/Spades, and jungle animals rather than numbers/royalty cards. The book teaches the kids "young" versions of card games, from "memory" to Rummy to War and many many more! Awesome, awesome, awesome! VERY welcome change of pace from Hi-Ho-Cherry-O and Chutes-and-Ladders! I'm looking forward now to "MORE Card Games for Little Kids".
