Book Review and Awards
"I've been so pleased with Trash to Toys. This book brought my children & I back to the good old basics...teaching us to use what we already have, only in a whole new way. The author, Nick Sarkady does a great job of explaining the "how to's" of the games, making it easy to follow! This book has instilled a sense of frugality as well as imagination for my children and I...making it fun to save & recycle. It's provided ways of entertainment for the whole family bringing us closer together without spending money (which is needed in today's economy). All around great book, every family should have one!" - Mobratly "This book is awesome in that it suits my "green" nature at not throwing away perfectly usable stuff, and the excellent ideas that Dr. Sarkady has come up with for games. A must have for anyone with kids, especially us home schoolers! It is well organized and excellently written. A nice change from electronics! Thank you, Dr. Sarkady!" - L. Murray
