This is a story book and an activity kit. Louie Loose Moose tells of his summer adventures in 12 sections. His suggested activities are listed in each section and explained in more detail at the back of the book. The materials needed for the activities are inexpensive and easily acquired. I have had fun doing all the activities with my own children, grandchildren and students. I certainly didn't invent all the activities: many are old favorites and variations that have stood the test of time.
