Just because you don’t have a summer birthday doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate with a monster bash that people will be talking about well into winter.

It’s actually three games in one, which is always a nice bonus. The cards are colorful, and are also extra sturdy and oversized, which makes them great for little fingers. None of the three games requires reading. And it can be hard to find a game that is challenging, but doesn’t involve reading. When you have some children who can read, and some who can’t, … Continue reading →
