This little dot-to-dot book is a perfect size to store in your purse. I carry a bunch of these little puzzle books around to keep my 6-year-old son happily busy when we go to a restaurant. He sees them as the same as the puzzle books his older sister and I enjoy, so he feels like he's just like us. They are a good price for $1.50 and I usually throw one or two in my shopping cart and pick them up when I need a small amount to qualify my order for free shipping. :)
i was disappointed that this book was so short. I only wish it had been longer with more animals to go through. It did not take long for our eight year old to finish this book maybe fifteen minutes if that.
Excellent value, and can keep young children entertained for a few minutes.Now these books are small--but that's kind of the point of these book, I think. They're portable, easy to throw in a briefcase or purse or back of the car, and handy to give to children at the doctor's office waiting room, or in an airport, or on a car trip, or at a restaurant waiting for food, or really, just anywhere where you want to have a short educational (or semi-educational) activity.And I gotta admit, I like that this is an "un-plugged" option. Not on a phone or tablet or screen--just a good old-fashioned book with simple activities, vivid illustrations, and things to *do*--that is, an active, tactile experience--even if the activities are quite simple (like peeling stickers).We don't leave home without a few of these. (Just be prepared, if you haven't ordered these before, for a small booklet, not a *book* book.)
This is the second of the only two "Search-a-Word" puzzle books that Dover publish.Our beginning reader moved through them with just a little challenge and thoroughly enjoyed them. He even went looking for other words that just happened to be there by chance. The images of animals with spelled out names as the search clues is a good idea for beginning readers. I wish Dover published more. We haven't found any others that are quite the same. Note that these books have only elementary words.
Great book for my 5 year old son. The book is a little book meaning its small and just a little bigger than a cell phone. The puzzles are easy to read with pictures and the word below the picture for the child to find. The book is small so your child could probably finish it in one day if they wanted to. We are doing 3 pages a night so it should last a week or two at least.
This book is the perfect size to carry in your purse or diaper bag. My kids love the puzzles, which give them something other than coloring to do. The answers are in the back for younger kids that might have a harder time finding the words.
My oldest son is really into this type of puzzle book. I purchased it for a trip he was taking to see his grandmother. I was surprised how tiny the book is, but yet it wasn't much so I guess you get what you pay for. The important thing is he loves it.
This is a great little 64 page booklet for keeping the kids occupied. We have ordered about 20 of these to keep the kids occupied as needed. Also sold at Cracker Barrel but of course had a better deal.
