My two grand daughters love to do mazes. This maze book was perfect for the 5 year old. She loved all the mazes and the pictures accompaning them. I have gotten several of these books and they are great!
My almost 5-year-old son loves mazes (he calls them maps). So when I saw these books, I just knew he would love them! I wasn't expecting them to be as small as they are, but that was my fault for not looking at the product dimensions. He has already completed the mazes, and we ordered the product less than a month ago. I would consider them to be at a difficulty level appropriate for kids ages 4-8. The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the binding. Because the book is so small, and the binding is so tight, it is difficult to get the book to lay flat-- I had to help him hold the book open while he completed his mazes.
These mazes are perfect for my 3 year old. They are light, small and easily fit in a purse or small bag for keeping little ones busy in restaurants, on planes, etc. We have purchased many of the variety of these little books including the mazes, find the differences, and hidden pictures.
The item description says this is for reading level "ages 8-11". I assume that is based on the text on the pages, but it's misleading, since this is a maze book. Based on others' reviews, I thought this would be good for my son and got it for him for his fifth birthday. He sat down and completed the whole book in about 15 minutes and said it was too easy. I hope people aren't buying this for their kids who are 8-11, based on the description. It would be nice if the product images included a few of the pages so people can actually see what they're getting.
I bought this book for my 5 year old son who LOVES mazes! It's perfect because the book fits right inside my to go purse, which is great when he needs some non-electronic entertainment when we are away from home. One thing to note is the mazes are extremely easy, so he flies through them. Also, there is a thick crease in the book so he does struggle with the book closing on him from time to time, but I bent the book back enough that it isn't a big deal anymore.
I have a 3 year old son who really likes transportation (cars, airplanes, etc.) and getting interested in mazes. He really likes this book and I like that it makes him think and is great for pre-writing. The reason this book didn't get five stars was because it is hard to keep it open. I hold it open while he does the mazes. Also, it is just funny that it has the answers in the back. Great for the price, especially with the Prime membership shipping.
Used along with 2 other activity books on the 13 hour flight from Los Angeles to Paris, France and I did not even have to wip-out the IPAD. My 4-year old really enjoyed it. So yes, it is possible to live without high-tech gadgets on a long flight, just like when we were little (not sounding like a grandma? hum) And so cheap, I am seriously buying those again.
as with the other maze books, I didnt realize these were so small. I will keep this in mind in the future as my grandson loves mazes. i should have read the title better; "little activity book" is correct. He still enjoys them and I want him to love books period..just have to take the time to read the entire description.
