I was so involved in this book I neglected my friends and family until I could finish finding EVERY SINGLE THING on the lists! I loved it, and even though it's almost useless to ME now that I've found everything, I'll keep it on the shelf and show/lend it to others who come to visit. Maybe in a few years I can pick it up again and start over; my senior moments are becoming more frequent, and I might just forget where everything was hiding!

very satisfied 5 out of 5 stars.

Colorful stress reducer! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

One look at this Pinwheel Designs coloring book and my hands were itching to get to work!

There are endless possabilities for combinations of colors here -- there are no limits to how you can transform these Pinwheel Designs. If you've never tried one of the adult coloring books, this would be a great one to start.

For a little price, you can let your love of color and design run wild --probably reducing your stress level as you work.

Have fun!

loved the designs...worthy of many color options and providing creativity to my own art 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is one of the better teen to adult coloring books, but I have to say, I enjoy it most for the ideas that I develop using color patterns and designs with my own art (mosaics, jewelry, painting, collage, felting). When I received this book, I had to immediately try one with a color pattern that "spoke" to me. I also had to select two more with two other color selections specifically fitting the design. I have to say that the artist, Wil Stegenga, has provided some of the better coloring/art pattern books with a modern flair that I like. PS: Recommend you use hard to medium colored pencils to adequately fill the images. Larger and softer pencils may work for some images, but for details the other type of pencils work best (e.g. Primacolor Verithin pencils).

Editorial Review:

It's easy to create brilliant kaleidoscopes of color! Thirty spinning, streaming pinwheel designs offer an explosion of eye-catching shapes that literally leap off the page. Each unique illustration offers endless opportunities for customized coloring with crayons, markers, inks, and other media.

My daughter can't put this book down! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

My 8 year old daughter received the Mini Mysteries book as a gift and she loves it. The stories are just the right length and difficulty for her age (nearly 9 years old) and she really gets a kick out of reading them out loud to the entire family, at the dinner table. We all try to solve the mystery but thus far have been stumped each time. I highly recommend the book for a 7 to, say, 10 or 11 year old girl.

A Book Review from a Spiritridge Third Grader 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

If you love to uncover clues look inside Mini Mysteries! Well if your wondering why it's called Mini Mysteries it is because this is one book with a lot of mini mysteries.

All of these mysteries have the same main characters. Their names are Marie, Hailey, Noelle, Brook, Hope, Meagan, Sage, Faith, and Rose. These girls make sitting in the house on a rainy day seem like going on the fastest rollercoaster ever!

I absolutely adore this book! If you're wondering why it is because these mysteries are so exciting and because the author is so creative and makes this book glued to your mind.

I recommend this book to someone who loves mysteries and to elementary schools. I hope you enjoy this marvelous mystery.

My son is a huge Star Wars fan and I bought this thinking it would be ok for him. Well..it's more than ok..it's a huge book with tons of stickers and covers all the characters. This is a really good book for a little Star Wars fan like my son.

Love this sticker book! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

We got this for our 6 year old for Christmas and he LOVES it. All six movies are covered. The book is divided into four sections . . . one for each of the three newer movies and one for the original trilogy. Each section has 7 pages for stickers with detailed descriptions of the characters, weapons, ships, etc. The book includes 2 of every sticker so they can use one in the book and have a spare to use somewhere else. It will be a fun book to look at even after all the stickers are placed. Well worth the money!

Sticker Fun 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Lots of fun for a Star Wars fan. It's nice that there are two copies of each sticker - one to stick by the appropriate outline and one to use for other fun. Overall a great book. There are individual sections for Episodes I-III but Episodes IV-VI share a single section (and so are pretty under-represented). For very young kids there are some descriptions that are somewhat graphic (blasting, evil deeds, etc.) and some stickers of blaster pistols/rifles, but if you are otherwise ok with the Star Wars universe and all it entails, this book seems appropriate for most ages. (By the way this is not a pop-up book - it just has stickers and places to put the stickers).

Editorial Review:

A beautiful springtime fantasy from the creators of the best-selling Stranger in the Woods. This New York Times bestseller is a quiet story about trust and patience. Nature lovers of all ages will appreciate the amazing photography and gentle words which weave a tale about a young fawn waiting for her mother’s return. From a red-winged blackbird to a hissing goose,woodland creatures keep watch over a young fawn they believe is lost in the woods. But the book also delivers a message: most fawns found alone in the woods are not lost or abandoned. In fact, newborn fawns spend their first weeks without mom because her scent will attract predators to her young.

Our secret spy manual 5 out of 5 stars.
15 of 17 people found this review helpful.

My 4 year old niece is into the spy business. While kids' spy toys can be hit-or-miss in fun, I know this book was a hit. I know because I find the book all over my sister's house, and each time I see it it's a bit more battered. My niece can't read yet, but this is one of her favorite bedtime books to have mommy read from. And when she and her favorite playmate (me) are plotting a mission, we often consult this book for tips.

an annual favorite with our kids 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Our kids (ages 5 and 8) are in love with this item. This is our 3rd or 4th year of buying the calendars. I pre-order them, and the kids anticipate the calendars' August arrival date the way they would anticipate Christmas or their birthdays. They spend a lot of time discussing what they will draw for each month, and they enjoy the coloring parts and putting on the special occasion stickers. It is a long-term project. They will spend weeks or even months on their calendars. This is a perfect gift for kids with a long attention span who like art projects. If you give this gift in December, though, it probably won't be finished by January 1, so give it earlier in the fall.

Editorial Review:

Make Your Own Calendar is back for 2009! Each month features a space for kids to create their own pictures, as well as clever border designs to color in. There are also over 200 colorful stickers included to mark special dates. Whimsical artwork from Steve Haskamp gives this calendar a fresh look, and invites kids to personalize it and make it their own.

Wonderful kids book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book for my 8 year old daughter. She loves this series and it has really helped move her from little kid books to chapter books. She was intimidated to read chapter books and very reluctant to move from younger books to "bigger books" but these made the transition very smooth for her. She loves the story lines and Judy Moody isn't as bratty as Junie B. Jones. She now has the whole set and re-reads these constantly. The boy version of these is Judy's brother Stink's series and she loves to read those too. I highly recommend these books from around 5 if you're reading them to the child up to about 8 or 9.
