Mom keeps a copy handy for each of her kids in a tote bag with pens and colored markers in their car.

A time capsule for your children

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023 Me and my kids loved filling out this book! You follow through the storyline and answer questions as you read along with spaces to right in the answers. It was a hoot hearing each kids (girls 4 and 6) answers and I can't wait to show them 10 years from now. I got two copies so that each of my daughters could have their own unique memory!
