From the Publisher

Bonding While Learning helps parents teach their young children to read and write through engaging, relationship building activities.

Since learning doesn't only happen at home, Bonding While Learning also contains a number of special Out-And-About Extension Activities that families use in the car, during walks, while waiting in line, and when waiting for food to be served at a restaurant.
