Summary: Eases the chore of raising an ancient druid in modern times
Comment: I come from a staunch Episcopal background, and my wife comes from a family whose Catholicism verges on hysteria. We therefore promised each other that we would be open-minded about religious matters when the twins were born. In making this vow I was prepared to tolerate a few votive candles and the occasional Hail Mary if the kids ended up going in that direction. Giddy explorations of the Black Solstice at age four just didn't seem to be on the horizon, but here we are. The source of all this was a visit by their much-older half-sister - ...Amanda adores her half-siblings, and on visits she always tries to widen their horizons with artifacts from the macabre world that she inhabits out in Los Angeles. This summer it was the Pagan Kids' Activity Book, and the children took to it like Marxists to a dockworkers' strike. Basically this is a coloring book, and at Amanda's urging the kids colored theirs primarily in "Gothic shades" (imagine this phrase in a four-year-old voice - yes, it's creepy) such as Purple, Black, Burnt Sienna, Tempered Iron, Dark Carnival, and Indian Clay. There are other "activities" like mazes, which the kids enjoyed (although I think our son cheated on his Wicca Maze), lunar cycle charts, which went over their heads, and guides to making various pagan symbols, which were immediately transposed to their bedroom walls (causing one playgroup mother to ask if our son was already a Led Zeppelin fan, to my considerable amusement). All told this flirtation was reasonably healthy, as it gave them an early reverence for the natural world, and exposed them to a rather broad operating definition of the term "religious tolerance." Luckily it never progressed to the point of fire worship, and they eventually figured out that jolly old Saint Nicholas and the extravagant booty he lugs down the chimney are deeply connected to their parents' dowdy faith, which returned them to the fold forthwith.

Summary: Great Activity Book
Comment: There's a lot of activities in this book for kids of different ages. My daughter likes it so much that I found it easier to just scan the pages and print them out for her to color so she can keep coloring them over and over.

Summary: not bad....
Comment: we bought this book due to it being about the only book out for pagan kids. It's very wicca-centric but acceptable in that light. For instance, it teaches that all gods are "the god" and all goddesses are "the goddess". Not polytheistic at all. We corrected a few grammar errors and a typo in our copy.
Good place to start....
