5.0 out of 5 stars Tricky Pix, December 30, 2001

The ideas are outstanding. Actually getting the pictures to come out that way take some work which was a great challenge for my son and I.

2.0 out of 5 stars not *that* clever, June 4, 2004

By A Customer

This was disappointing, compared to most Klutz books. It did not grab the attention of my budding-photographer eleven-year-old. The camera included was no better than a disposable one.

5.0 out of 5 stars tricky pix lots of fun, January 15, 2007

By	delshae "delshae" (troy, mi) - See all my reviews

This book was a huge hit with a 4, 8, 9, & 10 year old this Christmas. Each of the kids rec'd digital cameras and the 9 year old this book. They played around with the different "poses" for hours Xmas morning and for days after. My daughter is the book owner and has been taking pictures with her friends too. I can't comment on the camera because we never used it - but I would suggest a digital camera so they can review the great shots instantly.
