Review: Great early academic book! - If your kiddo is advanced academically, then this product is not for you. If you have an average 3 year old or an advanced 2 year-old, then this product is great. It won't last a year, but it will give them a good start on their academic journey. I love this brand of books and use them for my 3 year old while I homeschool my older kids. It includes a good mixture of activities such as matching items, identifying what is the same or different, tracing the first few letters/numbers, cutting things out with scissors, gluing things, drawing through a simple maze, identifying colors and shapes, etc. The activities are colorful and very cute, and they are tastefully done. My son loves them and is always eager to do his school work! Do keep in mind that this is not a book that you can give to your child and expect them to do on their own. They will need a little guidance before doing each activity. Review: Fun and useful. Better than similar Kumon books - My daughter loved this activity book. She completed it when she was 3 years old, so it is right for 3 years old kids. This book is even better than Kumon books, because it does not over focus on repetitions but in teaching to love learning process.
