We got this book for my five year old because he loves Pokemon. It was a great book for me too. I learned a lot about how the world of Pokemon works. I would recommend it to others that want to know more about them.

I personally don't know much about Pokemon, but my son absolutely loves Pokemon, so he really enjoyed getting the handbook.

A must have for Pokemon collectors! 5 out of 5 stars.

This was the second copy I purchased for my son. He looked at the other one so much it fell apart. If your child likes Pokemon, this is the book to buy.

Kids 6 and 8 love it 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The kids just love this book. Amazing how they can sound out each name and read all about these characters. This book tells about the height and weight of the characters so my guys have been measuring and weighing things to get a better idea of how big the characters are. They chat about the different powers and who evolves into what. It is very cute to see my boys enjoy something together. I really feel that their reading skills have improved as well as their understanding of measurement and weight. No, it is not a science, history or math book but they are developing a love of reading and learning a little too!

My Heroes: The Olympic athletes 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Not what I had in mind when placing the order for this book but, I find it fascinating and useful all the same. Can't wait for the next Olympics to start and will be glued to my TV for those 16 days. I am a fan of the whole Olympic Ideal and try to watch as much as I can. I am also a huge fan of "Chariots of Fire", about the 1924 Olympics and "1896: The First Modern Olympics", about how the U. S. put our team together and got the athletes to Athens in time for the games.

I purchased the "Ultimate Sticker Book" for my grandaughter to take with us on vacation. When I received the book I was very disappointed in your description of "ultimate" - and I thought it was quite pricey for the size - HOWEVER ..... it was the BEST sticker book I could have eer purchased. It kept her entertained for every dinner meal so we could enjoy our food! I even held off letting her complete it so we could make it through the 10 vacation days! She turned 4 on 8/2. Thank you!

Two Hooves Up! 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 16 people found this review helpful.

I really enjoyed reading this book with all of the true stories like a girl who babysits minature horses, a girl who show jumps, a rodeo rider and much more storyies. But if you If you want to learn about how to take care of horses thhis is not the right book. I love the information in the back of the book and the trading cards though. It tells you a typical day at a horse farm and tells you about some grooming tools and the parts of tack. Over all I think this book rocks. and should get two hooves up!

Great for young horse riders 5 out of 5 stars.
15 of 15 people found this review helpful.

My 9 year old daughter (and I,her mother) really enjoyed this book. Although intended for young girls, I also learned from it. The book does a great job of explaining different kinds of riding and of some of the work involved in taking care of horses. I would highly recommend it for someone interested in taking riding lessons.

Great for horse lovers everywhere! 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I loved this book! It had cool stories about girls and their horses. I love horses and this book told me about what other girls do to take care of their horses. I also loved the horse trading cards, hey had many differnt kinds of horses on them. I also learned many things you can do on a horse. I think that if you love horses than this is for sure the perfect book for you!! I also loved all the full colored pictures. I would recommend this book fo everybody! -kristen

More coffee table book than practical treatise... 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I was rather disappointed in this book, as I had bought it based in large part on other's reviews, thinking it would give my boys some really good ideas on things to do with their idle time. When I received and thumbed through the book, however, it appeared clearly more of a nostalgic coffee table book than a "how to" manual of the activities/projects it covers. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone seeking help with filling up a boy's idle time, but instead to those needing another book for their coffee table or bathroom rack. It's a nicely written book, but I believe improperly packaged/marketed as a "how-to" book, misleading the buyer/reader.

Handy book is right!! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is an excellent "how-to" guide for any project imaginable, many of which have become "lost arts" in todays society. Great for outdoor enthusists as well as scouters, with tons of fun crafts, activities and skills for the taking!! It contains many alternative activities to video gaming,virtual reality, and electronic pastimes to get kids outdoors and thinking and learning creatively. I gave one to all seven of the boys and men in my family for Christmas, and they all love it.

Written by the founder of the Boys Scouts, Dan Beard, his wife and daughter (Lena & Adelia), founders of the Campfire Girls. Full of indoor & outdoor activities.

Editorial Review:

Comics! Puzzles! Jokes! Laffs! Flip-O-Rama! Stickers! Sound too good to be true? Captain Underpants (The Adventures of Captain Underpants: An Epic Novel, Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, etc.) is all about making readers happy, especially in this "really cheesy" (hey, the captain said it, not me) activity book starring everyone's favorite wedgie-powered superhero and his fourth-grade creators, George and Harold. Learn how to write your very own comic book, solve word-find puzzles, find your way out of Doctor Diaper's Devastating Diaper of Doom maze, pick up a few prank tips, make flip-o-rama pictures, complete the Cafeteria Ladies' Crazy Crossword, read all about Hairy Potty, the evil nuclear waste-enhanced toilet with werewolf fangs, and so much more. The exquisitely juvenile humor and (intentionally) unsophisticated artwork will have even reluctant readers clamoring for more from the very talented and irreverent Dav Pilkey. Pass the final exam and you can send away for your P.H.D. (Pilkey Honorary Diploma), make-it-yourself graduation cap with real artificial tassels, and a membership card. All three Terrifying Name Change-O-Charts 2000 are included, as well as a sheet of full-color stickers featuring Turbo Toilet, jockey-clad Captain Underpants, and the snickering troublemakers, George and Harold.

Great book, Wrong Age Range 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I think the I Spy Series is Wonderful and Treasure Hunt has great pictures. My only negative is that the age range listed in Amazon is wrong, and even the 4-8 age range usually listed for this book should be a little higher, like 6-8. I have to admit that I have a hard time finding the pictures, so my 4 year old gets frustrated with this one.

I think the Picture Riddles is a great one for 4 year olds to start with.

Great Book Great scenery 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this to anyone interested in learning anatomy. It's a fun way to learn what's what in you body by coloring your systems. Excellent visual way to learn.

save your money 1 out of 5 stars.

This coloring book is not user-friendly. The pictures are not clearly defined and make it hard to discern what's what in the picture. Look for another book.

A wonderful introduction to anatomy 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My brother bought this for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas, and she loves it more than any of her other coloring books. Although, yes, it is geared towards an older child, anyone who is interested in the design of the human body would benefit from this great coloring book. I, myself, have learned quite a bit just from guiding my daughter while she colors. The pages are all very detailed, yet the labeling is easy to read and understand.

Editorial Review:

Winner: Parents' Choice "Doing and Learning" Award Embark on a voyage of discovery through the human body, based on the classic work by Henry Gray. Children and adults will enjoy learning about the various systems of the body and their particular functions. Then they can get creative, coloring in the detailed illustrations of those systems.

Red Carpet HOT!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The answer to your question is YES! You want this! You need this!! You gotta have this book right now!!!
For those of you who have the first Paper Fashions from which, there's no denying, you could get evening and wedding gowns out of, Paper Fashions Fancy is especially for all those Prom Queen nights and red carpet gala events, and let me tell you, the shoes are so much yummier in this one and there are tiara stencils!! Likewise, you can get fabulous daywear from the Fancy one too, and combining the two books-well, by the time I'm done, I'll probably need walk-in closets just for my teeny paper creations!! Endless possiblities just got more endless!!
For those of you who haven't yet discovered the delights of the original Paper Fashions, why not? Just kidding! It's not necessary to have both-just very highly recommended!!

Okay, so with this book you get;
*3 packs of sequins, beads and a sheet of sticky gems
*ribbons-5 little bundles this time, and gold thread too
*all new paper-it's brighter, printier (new word!), sparklier and includes a sheet of printed vellum and flocked paper too (like velvet)
*there's a cute little tube of pva glue and of course, 20 tiny hangers!
*there are 3 pages of soft plastic stencils that feature everything you need-new tops and skirts (that you combine to make dresses) and accessories, like Jackie O type hats, and dress trains, little evening bags and even the A-list must have, shades!
*there are clear, easy to understand instructions with diagrams, on using the stencils, scissor tips, gluing tips and plenty of examples throughout to jumpstart your own stylin' creativity!
*there are even tips about using color, patterns and creating sketch and inspiration books!

Basically, it's everything the first Paper Fashions is only even better~the artwork, the photographs, the works! The Klutz folk have really upped their game on this, and that's saying a lot, because the first one is fantastic! Extras in this one include ideas on decorating the hangers, making tiny necklaces and most importantly, a tutorial on RUFFLES!

Again, I reiterate that even though these books are aimed at female population, there's no reason any guys who like to design womenswear shouldn't get this too-you should! Some of the best womenswear designers are men!
Agewise, it's suitable for ages 8 and up, and by up, people, don't just get one for your kids or grandkids! If it sounds fun to you, go ahead and get one for yourself! I did, and I'm happy as a lark!

Editorial Review:

Introducing our Spring 2008 collection - Paper Fashions Fancy. This season it's all about glamour. We've designed a brand new set of patterned and colored papers, including some with glitter, foil, and velvety black flocking. There's a new selection of seed beads, sequins, ribbon, and more than a hundred sticky-back "jewels" for embellishing the fashions. And, of course, the tiny wire hangers are back - this time we include clever ideas for decorating those hangers to make them gown-worthy.
