I was disappointed in the size of the book. The content was good for a 1st Crossword puzzle book but it was smaller than expected. Just a bit larger than a deck of cards.
Perfect little crossword book for beginners. Small sized book fits in purse and is always ready to intertain bored child where ever and when ever.
My son who is 5 and 1/2 finished the whole book in one day. Of course he took our help for spellings. The pictures are good and seeing the pictures kids can guess the words easily. Even the papaer quality is good for coloring using crayons or color pencils. My son felt good after finishing the book. Would recommend for kids between 4 - 5.
We used this one first for our 7 year-old grandson who didn't take to reading quite so quickly as to math. BUT he loves puzzles and flew through this book faster than even he expected. A great confidence-builder for more difficult ones to come.
My 6 year old will work on with my help. He can figure out the words with the pictures clues. But, sometimes need my help with spelling the words. We usually do 5 at one sitting then he wants to stop. He is not interested in coloring the pictures. I like it as the parent because we can go over phonics in a fun way. We also like playing Scrabble Jr together.
The Dover activity books are tiny, but just the right size to pop into your bag when going out to a restaurant or waiting area with your kiddo. I like this crossword book because instead of written hints, the hints are pictures, so the child can look and guess instead of your having to read every line. That is also an occasional downside, because the child sometimes might not know what an item is...but that's where guessing context from the puzzle words comes in. I bought this as part of an .com 4-for-3 sale promotion, and I thought the price was worth the time we would get out of the book.
I did this with my grandson, the pictures were great, no question as to what they were, and he said the words and I filled the words in. I did use the cross word as help for some, an he got all but 3 in the whole book. I guess he didn't know what an indian looked like, that was one.
These are really east crossword puzzles. My 6 year old was able to finish the book in no time. I'd recommend it for ages 3-5.
