Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This second book of tracing bridges the gap between My Book of Tracing and My First Book of Mazes by offering more advanced tracing exercises. Tracing their way through these colorful mazes will help children build more confidence in their fine motor skills, thereby preparing them to begin writing.

From the Publisher
Kumon workbooks are based on the "Kumon Method", an educational philosophy that aims at unlocking the full learning potential of each individual child. The Kumon Method introduces learning concepts in an incremental, step-by-step approach, allowing children to master new skills easily and without anxiety or frustration.

But it’s not just the Kumon Method that makes our workbooks special. It’s also the care and research that goes into the editorial content, design and quality of the books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Easy Mazes, March 12, 2007

By	Micole Roy (Sugar Land, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for younger kids, January 15, 2008

By	A. Koffman (Overland Park, KS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helped With Pencil Control, January 15, 2009

By	Ursula K. Raphael "Gideon's Mom" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
