Brain Quest Preschool (Cards)

Amazon.com Review

Your 4- to 5-year-old will absolutely delight at how much she or he knows while working with the 300 questions in these Brain Quest decks for preschool children. It's the bunny, of course, that does not live "in a river, swamp, or sea." (That's where the crab and alligator live!) Later, it is not long-lashed Amanda the Panda--the deck's adorable guide figure--"who is eating with chopsticks." (Amanda has a fork. And a light brown bear has a spoon. It's the bunny who has the chopsticks!) Proud of their success in unraveling the answers from these cheerful illustrations, kids will gladly challenge themselves to the harder fare, like finding the rectangle in the picture, or counting the circles on the Olympic flag.

Parents too will enjoy the authors' focus on real-world scenarios and real-world questions. Woven through these happy academic fundamentals are lessons about getting dressed, colors, body parts, and many other concepts that benefit preschoolers immensely. (Ages 4 to 5) --Jean Lenihan

4.0 out of 5 stars My 4-year old loves this!, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

Each page has 3 questions and fun illustrations, with the answers on the next page (also with fun illustrations). Covers a wide variety of Preschool level topics, from numbers and colors, to logic, patterns, shapes and thinking skills. A great item to have along anytime you need to "kill time" (like sitting in a restaurant or on an airplane). I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for standing in line, October 28, 2006

By	Dr. Juliet W. Marvenko (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Brain Quest Preschool (Cards)

I purchased this item to expand my 3 and 4 year olds' minds. Well, they both loved this game. And the best thing I ever did was take it to Disney World with us and played it with the kids while we were standing in lines for the rides. It made the time go so fast, the kids were learning and even the other children standing in line were interested. This year we are going back to Disney and I just purchased the Pre-school and the Kindergarten ones. I am planning on more success standing in long lines with small children. I highly recommend this product!

5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves it!, January 15, 2006

By	Chick lit fan (PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brain Quest Preschool (Cards)

We bought this for our 3 yo because we loved the 3's pack. I wasn't sure if he would do well with this set but he does a fine job. Some questions and concepts are a bit ahead of him but he gets the majority of it. The questions are really age appropriate and make learning fun. He just loves to go through the questions! I'm all for anything that makes learning fun. He goes around and makes up questions (like, "which one is bigger? This ball or this box?"). I would not hesitate to buy these for your preschooler.
