My almost 3 yr old and I love this book along with My Book of Tracing and My First Book of Mazes. We work a bit in each one since they all start out with nice, easy pages. The mazes are *really* easy and start out as short paths for tracing before looking like actual mazes. We work both maze books using a bingo chip which she guides along like a little car. This has worked well for her since the last ones are too hard for her and she can continue to do mazes at her level by switching books and revisiting mazes.

This is a good book for very young children (2+). There are a lot of really simple mazes (actually 80). Each maze is on an 8 1/2 x 11 page. The mazes get progressively harder, but they were all really easy for my three year old son. If I had let him, he would have finished a good portion of the book in just one sitting. As with all the Kumon workbooks, it is printed on good quality paper with colorful backgrounds. Also, there is a certificate of achievement in the back.

My Son is 2.5 yrs old and loved this book. He finished it in less than a months time. Yes, they weren't very challenging mazes, but kept the attention of my child for 10 minutes everyday. He liked it so much that everyday he would ask for it himself. I only wish they came in spiral bound or something like similar, so that I need not hold the book for him while he is working.

This is a great product, but geared to younger children as their first introduction to mazes. My 4 yr old son breezed through this book in one sitting. He may not have gotten them all perfect, but it wasn't much of a challenge at 4.

I agree that these are very easy, and my 3 year-old is generally capable of doing these with only the slightest errors. She tends to get so excited about moving along to something new that she'll do things quickly and sloppily. I appreciate that this book has forced her to stop for a minute, survey the entire picture, and then choose her path. It's a valuable lesson in patience.
The type of paper used here is excellent for erasing. If your child uses a regular pencil, as opposed to a crayon, colored pencil, or marker, you can erase the mistakes and give your child another chance to complete the maze perfectly.

I agree with another viewer that this is geared for very young children. My three-year old could have finished this in one sitting if I let him. We've been doing a lot of maze books to help improve his pencil control since he was two years old because he is a lefty - it's hard for him to see around his own hand.
However, the mazes in this book were some very interesting shapes (ex: scissors and a mermaid), and the "paths" of the mazes are wide enough that your child will easily be able to stay between the lines.
Also, the Kumon books achieve exactly what they state, so I recommend My Book of Mazes: Things That Go! (Kumon Workbooks) and My Book of Mazes: Around the World for something more challenging.

This book of mazes is recommended for ages 2-3-4, and we got it for my son just after he turned 3 years old. True to its title, the mazes are "easy", and it was a great way to introduce the concept of mazes while also building my son's confidence - he had a sense of accomplishment any time he finished a maze.
My son finished this book quickly, and within a month I had ordered the next book in the series. My son is now 4 years old, and he has enjoyed working his way through the Kumon maze series:
- "My Book of Easy Mazes" (for ages 2-3-4)
- "My First Book of Mazes" (for ages 3-4-5)
- "Amazing Mazes" (for ages 4-5-6)
- "My Book of Mazes: Things That Go!" (for ages 5-6-7) - My son is working on this book now.
I like mazes because they encourage my son to pause in the thinking process to look ahead to see which path will pan out - this seems like a good cognitive ability to have. Also, it gives him a chance to practice his pencil grip, which is something I think about because I never corrected my daughter's pencil grip when she was a pre-schooler (I didn't think it mattered!) and now, as a 7-year-old in first grade, she still holds a pencil incorrectly (which makes her writing messy, and her hand hurts after even short writing assignments).
My only complaint about this book - and all Kumon workbooks - is in regards to the workbook's binding. The spine is thick enough so that when the workbook is open, the book and pages do not lay flat, making it difficult to write on them. For every new page my son works on, I have to REALLY press down on the binding to open up the pages and keep them down.... Read more ›

Perfect introductory maze book for young preschoolers
The mazes in the beginning hardly even qualify as mazes because the maze path is basically a wide curved path that this book should be called "My Book of Very Easy Mazes. Read more

My 2 year old loves these
And we've seen great improvement in her attention span, and ability to hold a chubby colored pencil. She loves doing her "homework".

We love this book!
I bought this for my daughter and she LOVES to do the mazes! A tip - tear out the pages and laminate them. Then you can use a dry erase marker and do them over and over!
