This book is perfect for your preschooler!!! Hours of fun. Much different than typical books of mazes. My son (4 years), loves these because there are streets in maze shapes and many different themes of mazes. This is great practice for pre-writing skills. We always trace with out finger, then a pencil, and then a highlighter! This tip provides extra practice and makes the book last longer. This is one of my son's favorite activities. He would complete the book in one sitting if we let him. It is that much fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking mazes, March 3, 2006

I just got my 5 year old this book and she loves it. Almost half of the mazes are rendered in a beatiful isometric view with decorations, while the other half are not as decorated but offer more challenging and complex mazes, so it has a really nice learning curve.

The quality of the paper is great

I am asked that question by my daughter (age 5) almost every day. She loves doing these mazes. I actually take them to church with us so that she can sit quietly and do them during the service. She likes figuring out how to manuever her way through the mazes. Lots of fun.
