Karen Salmansohn
Simon & Schuster, 2002
Absolutely Fabulous!!
This book is a quick read and reread. The authour mixes up the presentation of the book. It is simple and basic, easy to understand and do. The author not only tells you why doing nothing works but tells you how to do it. Alot of books I have read leave that part out. The author doesn't speak down to you either. I bought another copy for a friend and am considering future purchases for ...

Where Did You Go? Out. What Did You Do? Nothing.9 reviews
Robert Paul Smith
Lexikos, 1983
charming
What a wonderful little book! Very short, only 124 pages, and I think the best word to describe it is - bemusing. I was charmed by the writer's account of his childhood in the Roaring Twenties. Written in 1957, so many of his observations on parenting (and he had two of his own) are certainly true today. We micro-and macro-manage our children. Are they ever left to their own devices any ...

Five Little Monkeys with Nothing to Do5 reviews
Eileen Christelow
Clarion Books, 2002
I didn't know that boredom could be so hilarious
This book threw me into a laughing fit when I read it to Max in the children's books section of one of the large bookshops in Singapore (the perfect refuge on week-ends during the rainy winter season). Max is two and a half years old, and he is very tolerant of his dad's monkeying around. To judge by the looks I got when I guffawed, it seems that most parents regard reading children's books as a ...

Douglas Wood
Dutton Juvenile, 2006
READ IT!
I think this book should come with every child when they are sent home from the hospital. We live in a world where our children are scheduled for EVERYTHING. This book shows what they miss when they don't just stop and do nothing. This is a fabulous read! Every classroom should have it as well.

Nothing to Do But Stay8 reviews
Carrie Young
University Of Iowa Press, 2000
Story-telling at its best
It often happens that our own stories are intimately entwined with someone else's story, and that to understand who we are, we have to tell another person's story first. This is true for Carrie Young, who has written a marvelous memoir of her mother.
This warm, hopeful testament to a woman's courage tells the story of Carrine Gafkjen, who--all alone, and with the single-minded, strong-hearted ...

There's Nothing to Do on Mars5 reviews
Chris Gall
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Robert Zubrin and Greg Klerkx take note, there IS hope for the future
While the other reviewers noted the charm of this book in general 'fun and nice for a child' ways, I have a different slant. Being a child of the Apollo days and growing up when the idea of going to another planet was the only thrill that could be imagined I've become a bit empty over the decades noticing that that excitement is no longer a major force in our children's lives. Politicians ...

The Forklifts Have Nothing To Do!: Lessons in Supply Chain Leadership1 review
Joseph L. Walden
AuthorHouse, 2003
Inventory Control is Important!
Colonel Walden is right on the money. Busy forklifts do not translate into effective or efficient supply operations. Careful use of economic order quantities, re-order points tuned to demand levels and demand forecasts, and a focus on ensuring the 20% of inventory items that account for 80% of your transactions are always available, is what matters. Also, forward deployment of assets where ...

1001 Things to Do When There's Nothing to Do1 review
Louise And Linda Aber Colligan
Scholastic, 1995
Great Book For Kids and Teenagers
When I was a kid I bought this book and LOVED it. It gave me tons of ideas of things to do when I was "bored", especially during summer break. I would even pass time sometimes just reading about what I could do and not even do it yet. Highly recommended.

This book teaches children to use their imaginations!
This children's book teaches children (and adults) to use their imaginations to create their own fun and avoid boredom. Frances's parent teaches him to carry a stone around in his pocket so that when he is bored with "nothing to do," he can rub the stone and concentrate until he has an idea of something fun to do. Frances finds that this idea works for him and teaches the technique to his ...

Eileen Christelow
Clarion Books, 2007
Nice Book
This is a nice English/Spanish book that can be read in either language. It goes beyond the basic color, shapes, etc. for basic Spanish. There are 3-4 sentences for each page; 28 pages or so. The monkey are bored so the Mom has them clean for their Grandma who is coming. The last task is to go pick berries; the monkey's make a mess through the house they just cleaned just before Grandma arrives. ...

Do Nothing Shadows1 review
Robert Laubach
AuthorHouse, 2000
must read
I am an avid mystery reader and this new author has hit a nail on the head. The main character Harry O'Day is a good example of being in the wrong or maybe right place at the right time. The story has many twist and turns. It keeps you on the edge of your seat through out the entire book and makes you ask for more. What more can you ask for in a book, that you don't want it to end. Thank you ...

My husband was diagnosed as terminally ill, he has lung cancer, copd, and a very weak heart. I received this book as a gift shortly after he was diagnosed, and I will be forever grateful. This book taught me how to take an active part in my husbands medical care, to not be afraid to ask questions, and one of the questions I became brave enough to ask, was about putting my husband on an oral ...

Golden Books
Golden Books, 1985
This is a sweet, funny story with adorable illustrations.
This is my favorite of all of Cyndy Szekeres' Golden
Naptime Tales. It tells the story of a puppy who thinks he
has nothing to do until he goes in search friends to form a
Nothing-To-Do Club and ends up exhausted after a day filled
with playing, dancing, reading and making mud pies.
The illustrations are simple and heartwarming. The animals
play with sweet abandon and the looks of ...

Wow - a perfect inspiration for every woman
This book has helped me through the good times as well as the bad, inspiring me to be more at peace with myself. It helped me to finally realise that I am something without a man - and an awesome something at that. Thankx Penelope for enabling me to get an outlook on reality - away from the subjective world I've been enclosed in for so many years. A fantastic book that every girl and woman ...
