My 7, 8, and 9 year old love Mad Libs, all of them. We have one of the original from when I was a kid in the 1970's and 3 of the newer ones, and the kids love them all. We drive a LOT and use these as entertainment on the road, in restaurants, or stuck in line, at the mechanics, waiting to pick someone up from school...etc. I carry them in my purse with a pencil. Also, they are educational--my kids are experts at adjectives, adverbs, verbs, etc. Parents and grandparents also get involved in the fun.

Thank you!! The kids loved it, and it saved my sanity on a long drive!! I love how it reinforces learning as the kids have to call out nouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc., and yet the laugh when they read the stories out loud.

I have a 3 and 5 year old and we drove from the west coast to the East Coast this summer with my husband. When the kids got restless we pulled these out and they LOVED them. Sometimes they had a hard time thinking of the types of words we needed to fill in the blanks, so instead of asking for a noun (person, place or, thing) we would narrow down the possibilities for them by asking them to tell us something that falls under that category like a body part, animal, member of the family... and that helped make it easier for them They LOVED hearing the completed pages read back to them. We even got a few chuckles out of Daddy.

Our kids love Mad Libs. They don't even realize that they are learning boring english concepts while coming up with silly stories. It's great for trips too, because it kills some time.

My family really enjoyed the mad libs books while on a long car trip this summer. It was something the whole family could do and never failed to produce laughs. As a teacher myself, I love the fact that the kids are learning their parts of speech in a fun way!
