My 7 year old got this book from Santa for Christmas, and LOVES it. He is very artistic, but any child who loves to draw and doodle will love this "book".

It has lots of rewritable pages and a dry-erase marker(with eraser!). It also comes with a small pot of cranium "dough" for sculpting. Each page is filled with several theme based activities to get your child's imagination going. For example "Create your own Country" has a list of questions to answer, like What is the official food of your country? What is your country called?, etc. Draw a picture of your country's capital. Finish this drawing of your country's currency.

I love this book as much as my son, just because it keeps him focused and relatively quiet for 30+ minutes at a time. Great for the car!

My daughter LOVES her Cranium Cat Book! We really like the fact that there's so much to do, and that it builds your creativity in fun, varied ways--ways I never even thought of. It's nice that many of the pages are designed to be used with the erasable marker that's included, so you can use them again. Others aren't, but your child can use a pencil to increase the life of those pages. Activities include: word scrambles; mazes of different kinds (one is a supermarket scramble); crossword puzzles; word searches; designing currency; creating your own kingdom, along with a crest, flag, castle, and more; different ways to create the same thing; pictures to complete; creating your own carnival, complete with rides; and more. There are also fun facts on most pages related to the activities you're working on, and many pages include suggestions for fun brain-building activities you can do with a friend outside of the book. A fun pull-out game is also included; it is actually part of the book, so there's nothing extra to store! Along with all of that, in a neat little storage case (also attached to the book!), is a dry-erase marker, a little tub of clay, a stencil, a sand-timer, and game cards and pieces. This is a great way to enrich your creative child, or to get your not-so-creative child thinking in another way. Highly recommended!
