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.

Perfect for a preschool tape fanatic! 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My almost 5 year old uses tape by the roll on just about everything so when I saw this book, I thought it would be perfect for him. He had a hard time tearing the tape initially but once he got the hang of it, he has had a great time taping the book. It seems like there is plenty of tape for the book and probably beyond - we've done this several times and there is still plenty of tape. I bought this as an activity for him to do on his own but so far, I have had to be there to supervise, as he gets frustrated when the tape won't tear or gets tangled up. In general, I think this was a worthwhile purchase.

Great for your creative child 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas, and it was a hit. She can play with it anywhere in the house. It has everything she needs to create with tape. No mess!!

Editorial Review:

Announcing a book filled with ""tape-me"" pages, along with four rolls of colorful kid-friendly paper tape (no scissors required). Each page is a different activity: Wrap the mummy, frame the picture, build the train tracks or just paint the whole picture in colored tape. Now this is an activity book to get stuck on.

My husband could not believe that I painted my daughters face! She also loves it. I would highly recommend this for parents planning a birthday party.

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

I bought this book for my daughter's 4th birthday. We have used this book over and over. The pictures are easy to duplicate on the whole. There are some that are a little more difficult but it was easier than I imagined.The paints that are supplied are also great. I bought some others but they were not as easy to work with. This is all you need for face painting.I have also gifted this book since then.It costs more in the stores than shipped from amazon.No negative aspects to this book.

So much fun 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this book for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. She has lots of older cousins ranging from 3-12 (mostly boys) and everyone was excited to get their face, arm, hand or leg painted. There are wide variety of ideas with set-by-step instructions. They were all very easy to do. If you make a little mistake the kids didn't seem to even notice, and if you make a big mistake the paint wipes off easily. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of paint that comes with it. I'm sure I will be using this set for years to come.

Editorial Review:

A fully photographic how-to feast on kids' face painting. The waterbased face paints themselves come from Kryolan, manufacturers of the most-respected theatrical makeup in the world.

I have not received this book yet!!!!! I tried to tracked the book using the tracking number, but all it said was that the book was delivered. The United States Post Office says that they received a notice from Amazon that an item will be delivered, but that the item has not arrived yet. I looked all over the Amazon website to help find my book, but could not find ant help.

RIPPED OFF 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I purchased three of these to give to my grandsons and we were not happy with them. We love Len Berman's spots on TV so we thought the books would be entertaining gifts. They are dull and printed on inexpensive newsprint type paper with no coloful illustrations. The stories are tedious and a few drawings in vivid colors might have perked them up. I would not recommend this book. Sorry Len and say hello to Shelly.

Editorial Review:

A baseball player who ran the bases backwards, an indoor hockey game cut short due to fog, a basketball player who scored for both teams in the same game, a football quarterback who passed the ball to himself, a golf tournament with only one hole - truth is stranger than fiction, especially when it comes to sports! Len Berman showcases the funniest and most amazing stories in the history of sports in this collection taken from his popular 'spanning the world' TV segments. Sports fans will love reading and sharing these bizarre tales.

I bought this book for my 14 year old niece. She loves it and is practicing new "dos" daily! I looked through it quickly. Looks to be easy reading with detailed illustrations. I look to be purchasing one for myself in the very near future!

It's okay 3 out of 5 stars.

I bought this book a looong time ago. Back when I was in elementary/starting middle school, I'm a college freshman now. While I don't recommend this book for someone who is already familiar with hairstyles, it's a really good book for those who are younger and just want to learn different styles, it's great. Some of the looks are a little dated but would look great on little girls who want to play with their hair and some of the looks are simple and elegant. All in all, it's a good book for the younger ones who want to experiment with simple, easy hairstyles.

Too easy for a pro 1 out of 5 stars.

This book did not inspire. It contains very dated looks that would be appropriate for a child.

Editorial Review:

A gorgeous book of hairstyles and braids designed for teens and beyond, with styles ranging from formal elegance to casual flair. Comes with three dressy scrunchies in a keepsake floral box.

A must have for Pokemon collectors! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

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!

need it for the pokemon fan 5 out of 5 stars.

Great fun for many ages! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

We love this book. It has 20 different animals/aliens/bugs you can draw all from tracing your hand a certain way. The instructions are helpful and you can easily restock the supplies. All you need is some pompoms and googly eyes, though you can just draw those in if you'd prefer. My 5 year old can do these by herself and my 3 year old needs help. But I think it's fun, they do as well, and for kids who love to draw and/or do crafts, this is a great book to have!

Really Fun Craft 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

My three year old and I could make these animals together all day long. It is fun for me and her. I think my older nephews and nieces would also enjoy this. It's a good buy. Get some extra eyes and pom poms and the book will last you ages.

Great for a 4 year old, and even older siblings love it! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My 4 year old son won this from a contest at the local library. He LOVES this book. It kept him busy for hours, and wants to use it all the time. You look at the picture of a butterfly or bat or turkey and take paper and put your hand down with fingers either open or a couple closed and a few open, or two hands in a different position and trace with the crayons provided or a pencil from home. It's self explanatory. You need to help with tracing depending on the age of the child or depending on if you are using two hands for the design. Then you have the child color and then glue (we used our own but it comes with glue) the pom poms on as a nose or tail or something. There are googly eyes to glue on also. The end result is a really cool picture. My son did like 10 on the first day he had it. This is good for girls and boys. For $10, it's great. We are buying one today for a toy drive and I would buy for a gift. Once you have, you only need to purchase extra pom poms and googly eyes, or substitute with other items for tails, noses, etc. from craft store or craft supplies at home. I have three boys 14, 9, 4 and a girl 12. This is one of those things that after 14 years old having children that you find is just classic. The 9 year old loved doing this too with the 4 year old.

Editorial Review:

This book is crammed with handfuls of inspiration, handy ideas and all the essential supplies such as googly eyes, glue, pompoms and crayons to make hand tracings. Learn to trace dragons, frogs, dogs, aliens, people, and yes, turkeys.

Fun with granddaughter 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This has been my 3 year old granddaughter's favorite thing to do with Grammie. At first she picked out the doll and clothes to use, as I peeled the sticky shapes for her and punched out the clothes. Now that she is almost four, she has mastered peeling the paper off of the sheet to get the sticky shapes of her choice and we now take turns picking out a doll to dress and selecting an outfit, but we always work together. It is so very relaxing getting involved in this activity with her. We love sorting through the many pages of options that this wonderful book has to offer.

Mega pieces! Mega creativity! Mega PATIENCE! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Kids of any age (and many adults!) will enjoy playing with this wonderful set of dolls. There are so many options -- especially the flip-sided designs.

However, this extreme variety of pieces is not always a plus for some children who may not have the diligence to work through all the required punching out of items and backing material.

The best advice is to know the patience level of the recipient, and for younger children be aware that your participation is required -- most certainly at first.

Also, prepare ahead for some box or large Ziplock bag to hold The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls so that none of the precious wardrobe changes go missing.

This item really does live up to its name, and there are hours of entertainment here for you.

Editorial Review:

These paper people, clothes and accessories are perforated, so there’s no cutting required. No tabs either -- clothes stay in place with the help of reusable press-on, peel-off adhesive dots. Also includes six beautifully illustrated backdrops and a handy portfolio storage pocket.

Editorial Review:

This exciting sports almanac will tell kids everything they want and need to know about the previous year in sports (Fall '07 through Summer '08). It includes major sports (basketball, baseball, football, hockey); "secondary sports" (golf, tennis, cycling, auto racing); and action sports (BMX, snowboarding, in-line skating).

YEAR IN SPORTS 2009 is heavily illustrated with Sports Illustrated's fabulous action photos. It will also feature an all-new 16-page, four-color insert that contains photos of the year's most thrilling moments and memorable athletes.

For each sport, kids will find a list of team names (or the top players), team stats, championship game summaries (i.e., what happened in Super Bowl XXXXII or the 2008 NBA play-offs?), records and milestones, award winners (i.e., who are the Cy Young Award winners of the last 10 years?), all-time stats, past champions, "Did You Know?" questions, great moments in sports, "Fast Facts," mini-bios of key personalities, and more.

This lively title offers kids quick, "cool" sports facts and isn't weighed down by lengthy blocks of texts. Just great information for sports fans of every age!

extremely successful with my children 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 17 people found this review helpful.

My eleven-year-old son liked this kit quite a bit, and my almost seven-year-old son LOVED it! He enjoyed designing potholders with nice color progressions and patterns, and made potholder after potholder until we ran out of loops. (The kit had enough loops for about seven or eight potholders, I think, though the last one had badly clashing colors. We need more loops now.)

As a parent, I appreciated the clear instructions in how to finish the edges, and, since my children are so enthusiastic, I am grateful for all the things the book describes making with the finished products, so I'm not obligated to give all of those potholders a home in my kitchen. :-) There are several clever little projects.

The included loom is made of sturdy plastic which does not hurt your fingers, and they also enclose a crochet hook and a large plastic needle for finishing. No other materials are needed, which made this a great find for kid entertainment on our vacation.

Editorial Review:

The classic weaving loom gets an infusion of imagination, ingenuity and fun. This complete hands-on kit includes high-quality, cotton-blend loops, a sturdy, easy-to-use weaving loom and step-by-loopy-step directions for all kinds of weaving projects.
