My grandson loves this. His teacher said at a parent teacher conference that he did not like using the pencil so I bought this book and can't get him to put it down. It's really helpful planing on purchase other books as well

I was checking out books at our bookstore for my 4 1/2 year old son to prepare him for kindergarten. This particular book is one of a series, and I chose it for the pencil skills.This is a maze book, and starts with a simple maze and progressively gets more difficult. Each page has a different name, like "Off to School," and you have to trace the route the bunny needs to take to school. The age rage is 4-5 years old. We've had this book for two days and my son has worked his way through more than half the book -- he really loves it! After about a quarter way through the book I think my son has mastered the "get through the maze" skill, but this workbook has really helped him learn to hold his pencil correctly! And also, when he first started to do the mazes he would start off tracing and figure out where to go as he went along, making wrong turns and back tracking. But my son has learned to take a moment to review the puzzle. When he's figured it out he likes to tell me, "Okay, got it" and he does the puzzle correctly the first time. I think it's helped to teach him to take a moment to review the problem first.Overall review: this is a very simple concept but a great book for young kids. Definitely recommend it.

When my friend told me about these workbooks, I was excited to try them during the summer but I wasn't sure how my 3 boys would react. From the get go they loved them! I tried to set aside a few times/week to work on a few pages and they always wanted to do more. Now that school is in full swing, my preschooler and kindergartener (1st grader not so much) still pick them up at random times and work on them. I put them in an accessible place, with pencils and kid scissors nearby and let them work on them. I try not to supervise too much so they make/correct mistakes and take ownership of their work/progress. I love these workbooks and plan to buy more for next summer. My preschooler even asked for more for Christmas

This book contains mazes that get harder as you go through the book. The mazes also get longer as you go. At first, I was a little disappointed this, but my child loves mazes, so sharpening his pencil skills was easy with this book. The mazes are eye-catching and fun for children. It's a great way to sneak in pencil practice as well as some problem solving skills (I make him think about which way he should go before even picking up the pencil). The book also has parent direction, telling parents when the mazes get harder or longer, and reminding parents to encourage the child. There is a certificate of achievement at the end of the book, which is a fun reward for children when they finish.

My son (almost 5) likes this book and it definitely gets him using and practicing his pencil in a fun way, however, the book is all mazes. I guess I was expecting a variety of tracing and writing activities, but it's only one thing.

We had our Daughter do these over the summer and she loves the Kumon workbooks. She would set there and do several pages without me having to make her.

Bought this for my boss 4 year old for her preschool graduation. She reads this book every day. My boss says her daughter loves it

Perfect for a 4-5 year old.
