The Penderwicks on Gardham Street by Jeanne Birdsall

It's Day One of TV-Turnoff Week. How are you and your family faring?

If the remote control proves tempting, there's only one thing to do. (And it's not to give in and flip to your regularly scheduled programming.) Hit the library or the bookstore for instant entertainment ideas.

Need a recommendation? We're all for grabbing a copy of "The Penderwicks on Gardham Street," the follow-up book to 2005's National Book Award-winning "The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits and a Very Interesting Boy."

If you're looking for more fun TV-free ideas, one of our Dream Team moms came up with a great book club event based around "The Penderwicks."

In the comments, talk about ways you make your kids' favorite books come alive.
