 Rating:  - Good overallI bought several copies of this book to give out as gifts at a recent family reunion. There were some good ideas in the book. I particularly liked the ideas of how to display a family tree in different wasy besides always a tree shape. Rating:  - Finally, a family educational project with whimsyThe Kids' Family Tree book is filled with delightful projects for elementary grade children who are interested in learning about their family history. This book offers a refreshing take on Geneology, for both parents and children alike. My fourth grader and I especially loved creating the coat of arms.
