This review is from: Get in Shape to Write (Plastic Comb)

This book is well thought out and is made from heavy stock. My 4 year old loves it and is still using it to improve his writing skills. Comes with an erasable marker and has clear plastic slipsheets between pages that can be wiped clean after each use.
