UNCLE

This is the first and only book for uncles and aunts who want to have a positive and lasting impact on their sibilings' children. 'Uncle: The Definitive Guide for Becoming the World's Greatest Aunt or Uncle' celebrates the unique, indispensable and slightly zany role of aunts and uncles in our society. It helps aunts and uncles realize their role through a collection nearly 190 fun and whacky activities that nieces and nephews need to master to grow up as great kids: things that the grandparents have forgotten and that the parents wouldn't ever think to teach. Show them how to scream, 'Haaaaaaay!' while Dad is driving past a farm. Turn an orange peel into teeth that would scare a dentist away from her drill. Or spend time hanging out doing the fine art of nothing. The 'Uncle: The Definitive Guide for Becoming the World's Greatest Aunt or Uncle' will appeal to anyone who has an endearing aunt or uncle, whether blood relative or a revered unofficial aunt or uncle, or scoutmasters and other adults who get to engage kids in fun and useful activities. It's a far better birthday gift than another tie.
