There are forty-six dot-to-dot puzzles. The dots are arranged in a way that when you begin working on it, you can't guess what it will turn out to be. The highest number in the book is 250, so this is appropriate for any aged person that can count to 250, although most of the puzzles are under 160. Unlike most dot to dot books, the page/puzzle size is 9.5 x 11 inches. The spaces between dots is sometimes very small which lends to a detailed image. Keep in mind, though, that young children may lack the fine motor skills to draw very straight short lines in order to make the best looking image. Adults who like dot-to-dot puzzles will find these fun. The paper is high quality and white, (not cheap newsprint paper). I am not sure of the papers' pound weight but it is heavier than 20 lb. copy paper.

This series of dot-to-dot books are wonderful. As a child, I loved games and challenges. Dot-to-dots and mazes were my favorites. I had no idea these books even existed until I saw them in a Bits and Pieces catalog several weeks ago. I looked them up on Amazon and found there were four books. I ordered all four books from Amazon even though I thought I would probably be disappointed if they were too simple. Even as an adult, I still work dot-to-dots when I find them in magazines and newspapers, so I figured I had nothing to lose even if these books were for children. I'm in the baby-boomer generation, so I confess I like to revisit my childhood era occasionally.

Boy, was I surprised! When they came in the mail, I sat up until 5 a.m. the next morning working some of the puzzles. I am retired with 30 years in my local school system, so it wasn't like I had to get up early. After I would complete one puzzle, I would think I'll just do one more. Then another. Then another. I tried all the different types of puzzles. I am so excited and I wanted your customers to know how much I enjoyed them.

Even my 76 year old mother enjoyed working the puzzles. Like me, she was very skeptical about ordering sight unseen.

I hope to see future publications of new books. I look forward to seeing Books 5, 6, 7, etc. real soon.

I've bought several of these dot to dot series book. The best thing about these dot to dot projects is that you cannot tell what the picture is going to be until you've finished connecting the dots. My grandson (age 8) cannot put them down. He gets engrossed with the book trying to figure out what the item will be before he starts to connect the dots and can't wait to get to the next page to start another. For only $7, these are great buys!!!! And, many times Amazon includes these in their 4 for 3 promotion, making the purchase an even better buy!!

Although this required a little assistance at first, my Granddaughter loves this. She can grasp numerical concepts easily. It helps to reinforce the counting into the higher numbers, which is appropirate for me, I have to get my glasses to see the numbers when assistance is needed. I would buy again.

A book for children/adults of all ages!!! My 11 yr old grandson loved this book. We now have Vol 3

I love this book!!! When I was a child, I used seek out these types of puzzle in the newspaper. I was happy to see that now there are 6 books out full of nothing but Dot-to-Dot puzzles.

The Dot to Dot Books, I have the first four, are fun and addictive. The pictures are cleverly created and keep you searching for the innovative path that he has created. Great with a number 2 pencil and a pair of strong reading glasses.

I loved these as a kid now they are done for adults. I got them all and when I was laid up with foot surgery has fun with them. they varried by numbers. number sequences, symbols, letters, not for little kids..a big kid toy.

This is the third Dot-to-Dot book I have used with my students, usually after a test to fill time, and they all love them; these books are the student's favourite request. I would recommend these books to any parent or teacher; they have also been well received by university students. The books provide a useful distraction to students and adults alike plus they are wonderful for building hand-eye co-ordination in young and old. Buy the whole series, you won't regret it. D.

This is a great product for those who enjoyed doing Dot-to-Dots as a kid, but who want something a little more substantial than the typical offerings. The book has about 50 pages of great Dot-to-Dots, all of which consist of hundreds of dots. You can almost never tell what the picture is until you finish connecting the dots. I also recommend "The Greatest Dot-to-Dot Super Challenge" by the same author as well. That one has a few Dot-to-Dots with over 1000 dots per page!
