1-100 Dot-to-Dots [Paperback]

Steve Harpster (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 28, 2003 | Age Level: 3 and up

Learning to count, refining fine motor skills, and having a blast: that's what children will be doing when they complete these fun dot-to-dots. Each cute picture has 100 dots to connect, and youngsters will surely count along as they move the pencil from one number to the next. Nothing's tricky, because the dots follow one another in a nice, smooth, logical progression, not zig-zagging too much to throw kids off course. With delightful images such as a smiling seal, wild-haired boy, and beanie-clad dog, this will become a favorite with pre-schoolers and kindergarteners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for young children who are learning to count to 100, May 4, 2004

This review is from: 1-100 Dot-to-Dots (Paperback)

This book uses good quality white paper and has 62 dot-to-dot puzzles in which all go from the numbers 1-100. With each going to 100, it is a great way to learn or reinforce counting up to 100 skills. The pages have only black print on them, so the resulting image may be colored in. The images are cartoon-like silly pictures such as a smiling monkey, a rabbit licking a big lollipop, and goofy animals wearing clothing and making silly faces. There are a few that try to be scary, a mean-faced cobra, a frowning monster and a mean looking sheriff-bulldog.

These are perfect for young children who are learning to count to 100. Older children may find the puzzles too easy or the images too juvenile.

I also recommend for older children, the educational dot-to-dot books by Monica Russo and others by Evan and Lyle Kimble. Fun books for older kids to adult level are the "Greatest Dot to Dot book in the world" of which there are 4 different books in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Book, January 23, 2007

This review is from: 1-100 Dot-to-Dots (Paperback)

My 5 year old son loves this book. His older brother got a harder dot to dot book for Christmas and I knew that the 5 year old would want to have one of his own. I originally thought this book might be too hard for him. However, the numbers are right in order so they are easy to find. That doesn't make the book too easy, but it does make it age appropriate. I even think he is counting better after playing with this book. He didn't even know that he was learning because it was so fun.

I ordered this book for my granddaughter who loves doing dot to dot pictures. Imagine my surpirse when I opened the book to find that almost all of the pictures are done with the numbers outlining the picture--just as you see on the front cover if you look carefully at it--which I did not. The numbers are right next to each other--there is no searching for the next number. It sure is not challenging! I would not recommend this book!
