Spanning the 1970's through a half-hour ago, Slow Children At Play is a heartfelt and humorous look at life within an extended family. These 20 short, fast-paced stories and essays give a fun-filled peek into one man's life as he interacts with his "everyday unusual" family and his eccentric young daughter. You'll enjoy family traditions in "Resplendent With Pine Needles in Her Hair", Daddy-daughter adventures in "Days of Crepes and Bazookas", "Sixth Grade Science Camp", and "Light Sabers Don't Kill People...", and the bonus, fiction story "Life, or Something Like It" in which a science experiment goes terribly awry, much to the dismay of the family cat.
