A Lithgow Palooza!
What's a palooza? An activity that keeps kids from uttering those terrifying words, "I'm bored!" You may know John Lithgow as star of stage, screen, and television or even as a bestselling children's book author. But his most important role -- parent -- was also the most fun. Whether building cardboard castles or putting on a King and I puppet show or conducting a treasure hunt in the National Gallery of Art, John has spent years perfecting the art of the palooza.
A palooza is easy to do!
• A palooza doesn't cost much (some cost absolutely nothing) • A palooza is instigated or organized by parents but is quickly taken over by children • A palooza may involve a computer but never the TV • A palooza may use all varieties of arts and crafts • A palooza may secretly teach children (and parents!) a thing or two • A palooza is entertaining for the entire family • A palooza depends entirely on the inexhaustible creativity, ingenuity, imagination, and sense of fun of young minds This book contains 101 ideas for creating paloozas for children ages 3 to 12 wherever you are. Grouped according to interests and themes -- like art, drama, music, vacations, and birthdays -- and incorporating lots of extrapaloozas, fun facts for parent and child, and suggested additional reading for all ages, John's paloozas range from adopting your own soup can for a day to inventing your own secret language to establishing left-handed day or creating a self-portrait. A Lithgow Palooza! is an utterly unique collection of original activities guaranteed to transform any household from bored to bubbling with fun..

Choose-a Palooza for Winter! Part 3 - February
I'm often asked, “What's the most fun you ever had on a project?” It would be a close call, and the contenders might surprise you. Shrek? Harry and the Hendersons? 3rd Rock from the Sun? No. The most fun I have ever had was with the most important people in my life: my children. My favorite times with them include what we call our “palooza” time—planning a knight's birthday celebration for my son with cardboard castles, swords and family crests; the puppet shows my children put on with their hand-made puppets; a treasure hunt at the National Gallery. Paloozas depend totally on the inexhaustible creativity, ingenuity, imagination, and sense of fun in young minds. They're wacky. They're wild. They're even ridiculous, but in the end, they are the best of times with our kids. Care to try one?.
