As an ex-teacher, grandparent and presently author and creativity coach, I found myself wishing that I had a whole series of these books to work with. The activities aren't just designed to keep kids busy, as is the case with so many activity books I've reviewed. Rather, this one truly stimulates creativity, for example, by having kids imagine fantasy animals that could only exist in their own minds. The author's sense of humor and her own creativity come through on every page, and that alone is going to inspire kids. Respectful, thought provoking, educational, creative and fun! What more could you ask for? I bought the book as a gift but really enjoyed reading through it myself. I can't wait to see my young grandchild's eyes light up.

What an amazingly fun book. As an educational psychologist student I have found this book very helpful to develop a lifeskills training programme for children from the ages of 5 through to 18. I have even gone so far as to enjoy the opportunity of tuning out of the rat race myself to play with some of my own wacky ideas by completing some of the exercises. What a stress reliever! My 10 year old daughter can not put it down and I am dreading the moment she tells me that she has completed it as we have another 4 weeks of holiday left. Sweet celebrations for Katherine Q. Revoir for a successful masterpiece of fun.

Fun, creative, and goes where other journal and activity books don't. It makes kids expand their thinking and use their imaginations with interesting ideas and inspiring illustrations that won't intimidate. A great birthday present.

My daughter loves this book and we take it to long trips where she has taken incredible notes and drawings. It is the best present to give to a child that enjoys creativity..!

I do play therapy with young children and this is a great activity book with lots of ideas. Definitely worth the buy.

My daughter loves this book! Lots of drawing, writing and being imaginative. A great product!

This book is what every child should have to spark their imagination, esp. with all the TV and video games that require no thinking on their part. My 6 1/2 year old got this for Christmas from us, and she loves it! It's helpful to have reading skills, but a parent could help too. She has been doing this book every night since she got it. Highly recommend! Lots of creative questions and scenarios in the book. Lots of spaces for answering questions and drawing (about half writing, half drawing).

This was bought for a very artistic 11 year old girl and she absolutely loved it! It came quickly, was a great price, and was in perfect shape.

Definitely would recommend!

I'm thrilled to have found this book--some books that offer prompts for journalling do not inspire kids to write more than a sentence or two. Not so here! Revior offers many different types of activities to expand upon. Possibly geared more toward girls than boys (although not exclusionary of boys in any way--this is based more upon my opinion more than anything), and the pencils aren't really worth much (Revoir suggests using items from your own art supply), this spiral-bound book is wonderfully fun. Offers interactive activities as well as more private, introspective prompts.
