My daughter loves this books!!!Even though Lets cut paper is a little challeging for her(she is 33m), we love it. She asks for it every day. With the lets color she can do it alone, but with the lets cut, I need to help her a little bit. Its fuuuun!!!!Iessa mom of Amanda.

Excellent preschool activity book! 5 out of 5 stars.

My 4 year old son loved this book. He did every page within a few weeks! Its more than just cutting... you cut things out or parts of things on page to make clever little things. I 100% recommend this. We also ordered Lets Fold, which we like and also give five stars. But, Let's Cut, is the best by far.

Editorial Review:

The colorful and easy exercises in each First Steps workbook provide toddlers with the opportunity to become comfortable with the tools that are essential in every school - scissors, glue, pencils and crayons. These workbooks also teach the motor skills and problem-solving abilities that are a child's First Steps toward success. Ages: 2 + Manufacturer: Marlon Creations

These books are great for art projects with kids. My class is making a gift for the school using these art ideas.

I loved Ed Emberley's books so much when I was a kid, I had to share them with my own children and my students.

I'd Give it Two Thumbs Up! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

As a homeschooling mom of a preschooler and first grader, I am always looking for things that are appropriate for a wide variety of age levels. The Complete Funprint Drawing Book is perfect for homeschool art! The directions are simple enough for my just-turned-four year old to follow, but the endless variety of things to make is interesting enough for my six (and a half) year old. I am looking into more Ed Emberly books to add to our homeschool art resource collection.

Editorial Review:

ver two million copies of Ed Emberley's innovative drawing books have been sold throughout the years. For the first time, we present a two-in-one edition of two of his most popular titles-Ed Emberley's Fingerprint Drawing Book and Ed Emberley's Great Thumbprint Drawing Book. Colorful step-by-step drawings show how to turn your thumbprints into owls, pigs, fish, or basketball players simply by adding the letters I, V, Y, L, O, and U. These titles will not only spur creativity in every child but make it easy and fun as well.

The love produces animation! That book exhibition that! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The love produces animation! That book exhibition that! That amazes of book! That fantastic thing is the friendship and the production of those two geniuses of the animation! The life and the those two men's art is a thing that contemplates in all us, impassioned by animation. They are my life examples, and one day I would like cannot at least to arrive close to what did. That book, and the dvd about the life of the two, is obligatory things in any school, or shelf peculiar of any person that has feelings and sensibility to understand the beautiful things of the life. Wonderful? Spectacular? Grandiose? I don't have as defining that book. He is more than any definition that somebody can create. It is the love transformed in cartoons overflowing for the pages of that wonderful book. I will buy more a, to be in the shelf without nobody opens it, and my descendants only can you make it for they know a time and such some brilliant people and magics as these highlighted in that spectacular book.

Editorial Review:

An out-of-print collector's item since 1986, the definitive account of the development of Disney animation explains what made Disney's style unique and features original sketches and drawings revealing the origins of Mickey and the rest. National ad/promo.

Not as good as other Kumon workbooks 3 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I have brought all of the Kumon workbooks. Most of the other workbooks are full of bright colorful pictures with lessons containing just the right amount of sit down work. That is not true with this book. It is just pages full of problems -- too many of them for one sitting. They call it simple, because you are only adding 1 to numbers 1 to 29, but it is a bit much for a child trying to learn this for the first time. The book is fine for speed improvements, but find a different book for first time learners.

Wonderful for beginers 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I just love the Kumon workbooks because they are so well organized, with pages that are simply laid out and they introduce the information incrementally. It appeals to the learning style of my five year old. I was a tiny bit disappointed by how extremely simple this workbook is. It only covers adding 1 and 2 to the numbers 1 through 29. It says it right there on the cover but somehow I missed it. I would say it's definitely pre-school level and not kindergarten as I'd hoped. I'll probably just do a few of the pages with my five year old and order the next book to do this year with her and let my four year old use this when I need her to have busy-work. The information builds very slowly in this workbook and so it might not be ideal of the child who likes variety in their workbook pages or who struggles with being under-challenged or gets bored really quickly. However for my daughter this will be perfect.

Barely a story 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The book is cute and it has a couple of interactive touch spots for kids to learn from, but the book is clearly made for a 6 month-1 year old. My daughter loves the Max & Ruby series and I have been looking to get her some merchandise. Unfortunately, none of the books I have ordered (that are listed on Amazon at least) compare to the show. Very little story and just a lot of thick paper.

Baby book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Very cute book - colorful pages - bought it for a one year old and he loves
the tactile pages.

Editorial Review:

"Goodnight, Max," says Max's sister Ruby. But Max can't get comfortable. First he spills a glass of water. Then there are all those itchy cookie crumbs in his bed...and the moon shining through his window. Will poor Max ever fall asleep? Rosemary Wells' beloved Max and Ruby are back in an irresistibly touchable book that is also a satisfying bedtime story. Toddlers won't be able to resist all the tactile elements--fourteen tempting things to touch, move, even smell--while a gently humorous story makes this the perfect book for bedtime, naptime, or anytime!

Ray's Kid Cookbook 4 out of 5 stars.
33 of 34 people found this review helpful.

I enjoy cooking. The Kitchen is like my science lab, it is great to taste and try new things in the kitchen.

A cookbook written with children in mind can either talk down to kids or can treat them like equals. most of this book treats children like equals. However it is cutely illustrated with cartoony images of Rachel Ray, which to me, belittles the kids.

The recipes are family oriented cooking tasks that kids and adults can make together. It has plastic slicked stock is the kind I think most cook books can use

This book is good cook book for family and people that want to teach children to eat well. I like what is here..if you have kids and want to have your children to learn to cook, this is your book

Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children? 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

"Cooking Rocks!" was Rachael Ray's first venture into kid-friendly cooking. It's a cut above "Yum-O!" in its simplicity,and it's clearly made for kids. "Cooking Rocks!" translated her half-hour hits into family accessible recipes.

"Cooking Rocks!" is colorful, easy-to-use,and the division of labor between adults&kids is reasoned out. There are recipes clearly aimed at kids-like Fruit "Sushi",Worms&Eyeballs, and Ray's ubiquitous "Pasta,Cheese,and Trees." It's whimsical without being overly cute. There are also meals adults&kids can enjoy alike,such as Tomato,Basil,and Cheese Baked Pasta,as well as Cinnamon-Apple Nachos with Peanut Butter Sauce. On the other hand, as befits a Dunkin' Donuts spokeswoman,the recipes contain a lot of fat and sugar. This is from a woman who started her Yum-O! charity to combat childhood obesity. There are also Ray's usual unholy food combinations. The Chicken Catch-a-tory Ravioli Stew is a sure recipe for constipation. The Hot Dog Pizza with sugared cucumber slices (pickles?) sounds indigestion-inducing. The pizza cheeseburgers are from Ray's "throw it together" philosophy. Yuck-O!

"Cooking Rocks!" is a mixed bag. Not great, not awful as its follow-up. It's mediocre.

Editorial Review:

Kids rock! says Rachael, and it seems the feeling is mutual. Young people number among her biggest fans. For them she has created a fabulous collection of age-specific recipes with a high cool factor.

Magnificent Horses 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Page after page of beautifully drawn horses in various poses, many of them are action poses.

A few of the pictures feature riders but most are just of the horses--which was my preference.

The drawings are large and easy to color, and there is also lots of background with mountains, trees, rocks and even rivers/streams.

I am an adult colorer, but I think anyone from about the age of six would enjoy coloring in this book.

I highly recommend it.

If you like horses You'll love this book 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is a very good coloring book. John Green is an excellent artist and with a little colored pencil or crayons the pictures come alive. I bought this book for myself, and I love it.

Editorial Review:

Thirty handsome illustrations capture the legendary grace and beauty of the horse. Depictions of mounted riders; horses racing across fields; mares with their colts; horses walking, galloping, trotting; a stallion rearing up on its hind legs; and more. Captions supplement an impressive panorama of the world's best-loved and most highly prized animals.

Great for building pencil skills! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My son loves these mazes. I've had great luck with all of the Kumon books. This one is really great for teaching pencil skills. It holds my son's interest and the book is structured to give a high success rate - staring with simpler mazes and progressing. I'm a teacher and I'm very impresed with this and all of the other Kumon books I've tried.

Great Book For Four Year Old 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Purchased for my niece and she loves these mazes. Each page is double sided with an easy maze on the front and a harder maze on the back. She finds the harder maze a little difficult so I place numbered clues throughout the maze for her to follow.

She prefers working with the the pages out of the book, which you can do if you work on it a little. Instead of cutting, you can pull the front cover all the way back until the seam is exposed, and remove the pages one by one without ripping any pages.

Great way to teach mazes 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I brought this book for my 4 year old granddaughter, and she loves it. The pictures that appear in the maze make it easy to teach the concept of mazes. For example, the first maze has a hedge bordering all sections of the maze. My granddaughter understood following a path when I told her "you can't jump over or go through the hedge". She had so much fun that she just about finished the book in one sitting.

Pretty Committee member Dylan Marvil accompanies her TV-host mother on a private jet to an extravagant spa and tennis club in Hawaii in hopes of making a fresh start. She wants to put the heartache of being dumped behind her, relax in the spa, lounge on the beach and feast on rich tropical desserts --- while her mom is busy preparing for the "interview of the season" with hot-tempered tennis superstar and bad-girl Svetlana Slootskyia.

After checking in to the luxurious resort, Dylan and her mother head for the resort's boutique to "go native" and pick out some new clothes to wear at the Aloha Open VIP Party. Dylan --- who favors dark colors, especially black, to flatter her size-four (make that size-six) figure --- is not pleased with the wardrobe selection. She tells her mom she feels like she's been dropped into a "floral-scented snow globe" because everything there is white, which is the customary color for anyone attending the tennis events.

While looking for an appropriate outfit, Dylan melts at the sight of tanned and handsome J.T. Daley, whose father owns the resort. When she actually meets him, Dylan can barely control her burping. J.T. is a tennis-obsessed "hawtie" who is immediately impressed when he finds out that Dylan's mom is going to be interviewing Svetlana.

At the VIP party, to impress J.T. even more, Dylan tells him she also loves tennis, which is about as true as her being a size four and not having a burping problem. After hearing this, J.T. invites her to his family's box seats at a tennis match that will be held three days later.

Dylan quickly realizes she has to learn how to master the game of tennis in three days, or J.T. will know she's lying. She tries to come up with a plan to get the hot-tempered Svetlana to teach her to play tennis well enough to impress J.T. Can Dylan convince Svetlana to help her become an ace, or will her quest to win over J.T. end up out of bounds?

DYLAN is the second of five books that shine a spotlight on the summers of the Pretty Committee members. It is a breezy and light-hearted novel with an important message about knowing ourselves and being comfortable with who we are.

Editorial Review:

Game, Set, Match... Dylan? Dylan and her TV-host mom are off to Hawaii's Aloha Tennis Open. While Merri-Lee interviews tennis's wild child Svetlana "Tennis the Menace" Slootskyia, Dylan lets the tropical sun melt away the memory of getting dumped by two guys at the end of seventh grade. But between avocado mud masks and poolside naps, she falls in love with a preppy, tennis- obsessed hawtie. Dylan soon realizes the only way to score a date with him is to master the game. Can she convince moody Svetlana to spill the secrets of her tennis success, or will she end up oh-for-three in summer love?

Too Many Toys 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

David Shannon is amazing! I am a Librarian for an elementary school and his books are always among the favorites, and "Too Many Toys" is no different. He has a great way of relating to children. All children relate to this story because we all tend to hang on to things that don't even work just for the sentimentality of it. The art work is delightful (as always), and the combination of the story and the pictures just works so wonderfully. I really cannot think of any of his books that I would not fully recommend!

Spencer has too many toys! His father trips over them, his mother falls over them, and the house is overflowing with junk. Now its time to give some of the mountain of goodies away, but Spencer finds it hard. In the end, he fills a box, but decides the one toy he can't part with is the box!
