I understand the negative review. The erasable crayon leaves something to be desired. You will likely see shreds of it somewhere, though it is not hard to clean up really. My number one complaint about the crayon and product in general is how hard it is to write with it. You have to press down very hard to see any sort of satisfying line, and even then it is not a clean line. For a two year old girl, this is particularly hard.

As a side note, there is no reason to clean these with a sponge or anything wet. A dry paper towel did the trick for me, generally without any hassles.

Yet, I give it 5 stars. Why? Because it is still the best BC notebook out there (except for the other two or three that are the same only in different styles). What I really like about this notebook is how durable it is (don't use water to wash it). The front and back are extra sturdy plastic and the spiral ring is big enough to fit a variety of crayons and dry erase markers.

That durability means I can do something else cool with this notebook. Without too much trouble, I cam make my own pages, punch them and thread them through the spirals. This possibility opens up all kinds of options and is why I really love this thing. That, and my daughters eyes lit up when she saw it.

If you have a preschooler, you must have this notebook! This is one of those toys were if there were one left on the store shelf there would be a fight! The crayon is easy for little hands to use and the pages will wipe clean to be reused. This is a sturdy product. A+++

After staying with my daughter and her children I discovered that 2 year old Seth loved Blues Clues. I sent him this Handy Dandy Notebook--he loves it!!! My daughter says he takes it to bed with him. He doesn't even want to put it down for eating & bathing, and he won't let anyone else touch it! "MY NOTEBOOK", he says!

My toddler loves Blues Clues, so I knew she had to have a handy dandy notebook of her own. I was a little surprised at how much it was - was quite a bit more than I wanted to spend. But I bought it anyway and she absolutely loves it. Whenever it's on TV, she runs and gets her notebook and feels like she's part of the show. I also like how the pages just wipe off so we can use them over and over again. Is a cute toy & my daughter loves it, however, it is rather expensive which is a bummer.

My three year old son's expression when he got this item was very precious to me. He is so happy he finally got his Handy Dandy Notebook like Steve and Joe has. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me and my sons day. Thank you again for your help. I sure am going to recommend you to all my freinds and family. Thanks Again

When my son was into Blues' Clues this was the best thing he could have received. Would not put down for a minute. Downside of the toy is that the spirals come out
easily, the crayon gets lost, and the pages can be hard to clean (they do not wipe down easily). I paid much less than it's being advertised for. Would pay the 49.99
to see his face but not for the value. Not worth 49.99 but if you have a big time Blue's Clues fan he would love it. Shipped pretty quickly, felt a little slighted over the price but I understood I paid for a toy that was not going to last long.

I got this notebook for my daughter for her 2nd birthday. She loved it!!! Even though the spiral at the top does unwind a bit, it is very easy to put back together. She is able to write the clues on it, and when she is done we just wipe them off. In regards to the crayon, you can buy dry erase crayons at local stores.

My Grandson learns a lot from the Blues Clues shows - this is one of his favorite toys - the handy dandy notebook - he pretends for hours to be Joe or Steve. My Grandson started watching when he turned 2 and still watching after turning 3 in February 2010

My four year old granddaughter absolutely loves this and asked for it for Christmas. I was lucky enough to find it online here. It didn't look like much to me but it was the world to her. She plays with it all the time.

My 2yr old just got into Blue's Clues and was already starting to pretend she had a Handy Dandy Notebook. When I saw this one and compared it made sense to get one which could be used over and over (hence the higher price). I balked a the price too but it does stand up to wear and tear for a small toy and it really resembles Steve's. The crayon broke the 2nd day but again so are all the crayons we have; it is a 2yr old handling it afterall. The spiral part comes undone so it just needs to be respun into the grooves. Overall its a good product your child can enjoy over and over. Only difficult part is actually drawing the clues like Steve!
