"What a wonderful book! With a newly broken leg, Ducky is unable to get outside to play as she loves to do, and so she invents a fun memory game to play with her little brother and her Gran...it even comes with instructions on how to make and play the game. Great story - and the illustrations are so engaging. Every kid will love this book. I can't wait to see what the author creates next!"

"This is a wonderful book to read to your children or grandchildren. There are directions at the end of the book that guide you to make your own Memory Bag & then further instructions on how to play this simple , fun game that kids will enjoy. The great thing about it ,it is that the game can be an easy inexpensive craft project that the children can enjoy creating themselves. I bought several copies of to use as gifts. One more excellent thing about it … the author is a Canadian!!"
