Awesome!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I gave this to my 11 year old niece for Christmas and she absolutely loved it!! She went around asking everyone in the family the quizzes. It's colorful, bright and interesting art designs really grabs their attention. I would definitely buy this again for girls aged 10-13.

I love this book! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is, like, the best book I ever quizzed in. I this Klutz did the best job on this book! I'm so glad I have the book! I got it at my school book fair and fell in love with it (even though it's just a book) at first sight.

It's All About Me: Personality Quizzes for You and Your Friends 5 out of 5 stars.

If my granddaughter's (age 13) face of joy and her attachment to the book are measurement of the rating for this book, then the book rates 5 stars. The first day she had the book, she worked about 1/3 of the exercises asking everybody in sight to answer the questions. And, we enjoyed participating in the exercises. Great book for young girls.

Editorial Review:

This book includes 30 confidence-building quizzes in all, that answer only-from-Klutz questions like ""What Kind of Cookie Are you?"" and ""Eight Ways to Tell if Your Parents are Extraterrestrials."" Girls will love using the included 70-page notepad and stylish pen to jot down their quiz results and compare answers with friends.

Engaging and Fun 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

The photography in the book is amazing. Every picture is eye-catching and fun to search through because of all the cool little objects. My three-year old has become obsessed with this book; the utter delight on his face when he finally found the objects and the pride he takes in now being able to pick them out quickly are absolutely adorable! Some of the little figures are also reused in the differnt pictures so even though he now knows where all the figures are he still makes new discoveries when he finds the reused figures and takes great delight in comparing them.

The rhynmes are simple, but appropriate with a solid rhythm kids can easily pick up on. Also, like most Scholastic Readers, the word I Spy in the second half of the book is great practice of reading skills. Young children like mine will be able to grow into the second half of the book and older kids will get some good practice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Editorial Review:

All new, easy-to-read riddles by Jean Marzollo are paired with fun photographs culled from previously published I Spy books to create an I Spy easy reader. With rhythm, rhyme, and picture clues, this book is written to support the newest reader.

Fantastic! My 6 and 3 year olds really enjoy these books. My husband and my self find it very educational and fun for family time.

Good picture riddle book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The I Spy books are a play on the children's game of "I Spy" a game I played often during long car trips except that each book is themed. I Spy Mystery centers around buried treasure, a sunken ship and some other shenanigans. Most of the items photographed are miniatures and toys though what is often being sought in the riddles isn't as obvious as the photograph would first imply. The photographs themselves are deceptively simplistic. A photograph of a green house would appear to be nothing but flowers but may in fact hide things like anchors or race cars.

I Spy Mystery seems to be a tougher book than I Spy Spooky Night. I've read the book now twice and still haven't found all the mentioned items!

Editorial Review:

Thirteen amazing photgraphs filled with fun objects to search and find! Contents includes "The Hidden Clue," "The Birthday Hunt," "The Mystrious Monster," "The Ghost in the Attic," "Lost in Marbles," and more!More than 850,000 copies of I Spy Mystery have been sold in hardcover!

I was looking for a more in-depth instruction book for drawing flowers and this wasn't it. I believe this book would be wonderful for young artists just starting to draw.

This book was sent in error. I was purchasing books for two grandsons 10 & 6. I had returned that book but purchased 3 more of her books.

Editorial Review:

Clear, step-by-step illustrations show youngsters and other would-be artists how to use simple shapes to draw realistic likenesses of 30 different garden flowers, among them a sunflower, daisy, rose, morning glory, tulip, daffodil, poinsettia, Easter lily, pansy, jack-in-the-pulpit, bird of paradise, iris, and 18 other lovely blossoms.

Great bonding tool that's fun & healthy 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My kids loves this because THEY get to select the cards and twist Mama into a pretzel. It their choice and we are doing an activity TOGETHER. There are some good/simple breathing & meditation techniques in there too, aside from the poses.

My son is ready to go! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Arrived yesterday and my son has taken over the box. (He's 8). We are going to get started together. I like the descriptions of the breathing and how you should 'feel' when you do the movements/relaxing poses.
Since I'm taking a yoga class (i'm a newb) and he's going by the names on the cards, it's a bit confusing when he says, I can do the 'turtle' or I can do the 'rainbow.' But for him I find I like 'rainbow' as opposed to 'corpse pose.'
Also, the cards are not the size of a 'deck' of cards. They are larger, more the size of a DVD case. The box is sturdy thick cardboard and has a nice flip top. I'm thinking it will help us take care of them properly.
He did go thru each card and at the end has decided he wants the book and the pretzel mat. (Way to go for the marketing plan!!)

These don't seem too 'baby' for someone his age and I think that up to 9, maybe pushing 10 could use them also.

Completely satisfied.

Restaurant Favorite 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Whenever we go out to eat, we are sure to take this book along. It keeps my little boy (11 months) entertained while we wait for our food, and works like a charm. There is nothing better when he is screaming his head off than to pull out this book and presto, instant smile. He touches and feels and tries so hard to say baa at the sheep at bark at the dog. It is well worth the money. And so far it has held up remarkably well (even though there is rice in the dogs fur and cheese on the lambs wool).

Great Cards! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My 2 year old enjoys this set a lot. She loves touching the furry parts of the cards and they are super sturdy (cardboard). There are about 5 cards that are way to hard for her limited vocabulary so we make up the names, other than that they are great!

Editorial Review:

An array of colorful, photographic stickers of familiar objects and animals to sort and match. Young children will love the challenge of working out the answer and choosing the right sticker. Alternatively, they can have fun using the stickers to make picture books and posters of their own. These entertaining and educational books provide a hands-on way to explore first concepts.

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

I wanted a book that showed all types of animals for my grandchildren to look at. This book has beautiful color pictures of every animal imaginable. As the children age (they are only 6 and 4 yrs old ) and are able to read at higher levels, they can learn about each animal in great detail.

The photography is beautiful, vivid colors, and explanations of everything is provided. I see them picking this book up as teenagers and still finding something they missed.

Fantastic Wildlife book-Best I've ever seen 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I always read reviews before purchasing and when I read the reviews on this book, I knew it would be a great book. My son is Autistic and has always been an animal lover. The fact that this book has superb pictures alone is the perfect choice for any child! Another bonus is the wonderful variety of animals and the extent of information provided. My son has carried the book to school almost every day, regardless of how much it weighs! You can't go wrong, I promise. Thank you to a fabulous author, David Burnie!

Mad Libs are fun and having them from Family Guy makes it even better. The booklet came very nicely in brand new condition! I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

Editorial Review:

Family Guy is the absurdly funny, unbelievably popular cartoon sitcom from Fox. The show chronicles the lives of the Griffin family—Peter, Lois, Stewie, Brian, Chris, and Meg—a tight-knit but nutty family from Quahog, Rhode Island. And now, Family Guy combines comedic forces with Mad Libs for an absolutely hilarious time that no fan will be able to resist!
