When I opened this package on this one, my daughter wanted to dig in immediately. Unfortunately, I had to tell her no because it was bedtime.

My Thoughts
The morning after we received this book, my almost six year old left her tablet behind and worked on this for an hour. She never does that! We’re homeschoolers, and despite waking up with the chickens as my Momma would’ve said, my daughter isn’t “awake” until about 10 a.m. at least. But when I wandered out, she told me she wanted to do this book, and she did as many pages as she could with stand with her fine motor skills. Her OT will be so pleased.
As a homeschool mom, I appreciate anything that helps my child learn and makes it fun. It’s not teaching her everything she needs to learn, obviously, but anything we can teach her with something fun is always a bonus. She loves doing puzzles, and has learned a lot of reading and spelling from things like this. The vibrant colors and beautiful illustrations are I’m sure what attracted her to the book in the first place – she could tell immediately that the book was for her. But the puzzles were age-appropriate and challenging in a pleasing way, rather than in a frustrating way.
I like the focus on boosting critical thinking skills. This is one of the main reasons we chose to homsechool. Much of the traditional education system focuses on teaching to standardized tests, which is nothing against teachers, it is just what they have to do because of how the system is set up. We wanted our daughter to learn practical thinking skills in addition to her alphabet and math skills. These are important to having a happy, fulfilling life.
I am so grateful to have been included in this tour by the author and Love Books Tours, and so excited to see more resources like this become available.
Who’s It For?
It’s marketed for kids ages 6 to 12 and up. That seems appropriate, but if your kid is advanced, like mine, then you know what they’re capable of doing. My daughter is already reading at probably a second-grade level. She started this year at a first-grade level and has only gotten stronger. She’s also been doing puzzles and mazes since she was two because she’s been interested in them. If your kid is like mine, they’ll love this book and they can do it with assistance at a younger age.
