Bought this as a companion to a pink canon camera as a bat mitzvah present. Excellent gift for a tween and an animal lover-I wanted to get her away from "screen time" and into a hobby she has shown some interest in and will help her get outdoors more.
Got it for a birthday gift for my 12 year old niece who seems to be into photography. She was moving to another state at the time so I told her to take pictures and send them to me. (Included a gift card to develop pictures with in case someone needs a gift idea) Looked like a good book but honestly I didn't read it too much. She seemed excited about it.
I bought this book for my then nine year old and it's been nearly two years-- we haven't stopped reaping the benefits. Her photos are fantastic and the skills taught in this book can take a lot of credit.I found the vocabulary to be perfect for this age.
This book is rated for kids younger than the reading comprehension. I don't know if this is a publishing error or an author error. The activities for the age is not appropriate nor is the camera ($589+ with attachments) displayed in the book. I would recommend a used camera, hand-me-down, or a camera from a pawn shop that if lost wouldn't put too much of a strain on the purchaser's pocket. Although, you do want to teach the child to be responsible with the camera.This book uses terminology that a late middle-schooled child would use and comprehend. I have students I teach at the collegiate level who would have problems comprehending this text if photography was not their area of interest. I would suggest putting the book in front of a group of kids in various ages and see how many would read it, kept their interest, and for how long. Use that analysis to get your age-range. There weren't too many kid-centered pictures nor activities to keep the age group engaged in this particular book.I think the book is a good book. Just not for the age advertised.
I got this for a young relative. She absolutely loved it -- I can tell from the text of her IM to me after It arrived:"Thank you! Thank you! I love you!!! [tons of heart emoticons]" :)
Priceless! Our granddaughter just got her first digital camera and was over the moon to get this helpful book. Parents had a hard time getting her to put it down!
This is a great book for your budding photographer. I purchased this for my ten year old Son who wants to learn how to take pictures.
