From the Publisher

The History of Walter T. Foster

More than 80 years ago, Mr. Walter T. Foster proved you can accomplish anything you can dream! Having painted signs, sold hog medicine, performed in a stage act -- and invented the postage-stamp vending machine -- Mr. Foster turned to publishing. The "how to" art books he wrote, illustrated, printed, bound, packaged, and shipped on his own soon grew in popularity, and Mr. Foster became well known for proving that anyone can learn to draw. Today the Walter Foster Publishing company carries on the tradition, developing books and kits that encourage creativity and spark imaginations.

This review is from: Cars (Look and Find) (Hardcover)

This is a great look and find book that both boys and girls will enjoy. Young readers will love reliving the story of the movie, and the illustrations are wonderful. It's hard to believe that cars can have such wonderful expressions!

There are hours of fun to be found in this book with Lightning McQueen and all the "folks" in Radiator Springs!

This review is from: Cars (Look and Find) (Hardcover)

Our kids, ages 2 - 6 years (I am a licensed family childcare provider), all LOVE the Look & Find books. The Cars one was the first one we purchased (3 years ago) and we now own 10 of them. We also check them out from the library on a frequent basis. They just can't get enough of them! The Cars one is a MUST for your Cars fans and is one of our favorites. The items are challenging enough for a kindergartener but even our 24-month old can find the items after looking for a minute; I'd recommend up to age 7, older is your child has special needs or still feels challenged by these. There are plenty of pages to keep your child excited for a good 30+ minutes, maybe more, and our kids still use it 3 years later. Surprisingly, the books are still in excellent condition (thank you, hardcovers), despite frequent use by our boys and children in childcare. If you want to hone your child's visual discrimination, logic, and reading (older kids can read the stories on each page or you can read it to the younger ones) skills...while they have fun, this is the perfect book/activity! The price is very reasonable, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BOOK BUY YET!, February 3, 2010

By 

Paul's Nana (Illinois, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cars (Look and Find) (Hardcover)

Buy this for your car oriented children and they will spend HOURS looking at the pages and wanting you to 'read' it over and over. We bought this as a Christmas present for our 2 1/2 year old grandson and he still loves it. He is very careful with it and doesn't have to be supervised with it like the 'tab' books. He is still discovering graphics he hadn't noticed before and points at the pictures and says he wants to "go down there".
