I'll start by saying every Kumon product we have bought has been amazing. This book is not any less so. It is, however, different than what I expected. I wish there were some sample pages listed in the images so that parents would know what to expect. This book is full of pictures mazes where the child starts at one place and has to draw his/her way through the maze. That is great, and definitely good for pencil control, but I thought there were other exercises. My 4 year enjoys doing the mazes, but gets bored with them. I wish this book was a mix of different pencil control options. Overall, however, it is a great product and I will say my daughter has gotten better with her pencil from this book.

This book is a must! We have many but this is my son’s favorite one. Not only is a big colorful and amazing book as any other Kumon one, but have such a lovely activities inside. My son especially loved the last two chapters where he had to use scissors and glue! He created beautiful 3D scenes following the instructions and became amazed about the results. A+

This taught my daughter, a six year old with delays in her learning, more in 3 weeks than school has so far. Can’t say enough good things. (six year old with learning disabilities).

I was checking out books at our bookstore for my 4 1/2 year old son to prepare him for kindergarten. This particular book is one of a series, and I chose it for the pencil skills. This is a maze book, and starts with a simple maze and progressively gets more difficult. Each page has a different name, like "Off to School," and you have to trace the route the bunny needs to take to school. The age rage is 4-5 years old. We've had this book for two days and my son has worked his way through more than half the book -- he really loves it! After about a quarter way through the book I think my son has mastered the "get through the maze" skill, but this workbook has really helped him learn to hold his pencil correctly! And also, when he first started to do the mazes he would start off tracing and figure out where to go as he went along, making wrong turns and back tracking. But my son has learned to take a moment to review the puzzle. When he's figured it out he likes to tell me, "Okay, got it" and he does the puzzle correctly the first time. I think it's helped to teach him to take a moment to review the problem first. Overall review: this is a very simple concept but a great book for young kids. Definitely recommend it.
