Animal Search-a-Word Puzzles (Dover Little Activity Books: Animals)

Excellent value, and can keep young children entertained for a few minutes.Now these books are small--but that's kind of the point of these book, I think. They're portable, easy to throw in a briefcase or purse or back of the car, and handy to give to children at the doctor's office waiting room, or in an airport, or on a car trip, or at a restaurant waiting for food, or really, just anywhere where you want to have a short educational (or semi-educational) activity.And I gotta admit, I like that this is an "un-plugged" option. Not on a phone or tablet or screen--just a good old-fashioned book with simple activities, vivid illustrations, and things to *do*--that is, an active, tactile experience--even if the activities are quite simple (like peeling stickers).We don't leave home without a few of these. (Just be prepared, if you haven't ordered these before, for a small booklet, not a *book* book.)

My granddaughter had a blast looking for words and it wasn't hard.

Even though it's a kids book, I bought this for my mother, who has early onset dementia. The puzzles are quick and easy with only 3 words per puzzle, but they are good for someone like my mother who gets frustrated with backwards words or "busy" puzzles with 30-50 words hidden in them. The book is very small but the print inside is large enough for her to see easily.

Cute little busy book. Great for trips, eating out or plain boredom

Bought this word puzzle for my daughter birthday goody bag and it was awesome. Very educational for kids.

My son who is starting to read is loving this. It is helping him learn words and also find them among other letters. Very happy with this and how it is not overwhelming for a 5 year old to do! Very simple but just enough for him

This little dot-to-dot book is a perfect size to store in your purse. I carry a bunch of these little puzzle books around to keep my 6-year-old son happily busy when we go to a restaurant. He sees them as the same as the puzzle books his older sister and I enjoy, so he feels like he's just like us. They are a good price for $1.50 and I usually throw one or two in my Amazon shopping cart and pick them up when I need a small amount to qualify my order for free shipping. :)

I love these little word search books! My (just turned) five year old son cannot yet read but knows his alphabet. This is great practice for him. On each page, there are 3 animals (pictures and words) for him to find. He knows what the word is because of the picture and then looks for the sequence of letters. It's fun and easy for him and, once he gets going, he no longer needs my help! He's so proud when he does it on his own. Buy this for your pre- or early readers.

Really disappointed with this book. It’s tiny, has no colour pages, only 3 words to find on each page. Our son did the whole thing in an hour or so. Cannot believe the price, considering all this. Probably cost 25p to print each copy. Would have happily paid £1 for it, but over £4 is just ridiculous.

my 5 yo during the travel to Londonpocket size, very easy to take with youplack/white print-newspaper like, but that is ok, no need much colour for crosswords and mazesvery recommendedgood level for 4-6 y.o book

Very compact and an interesting lay out so that it helps the child to make up their own mind and learn by repetition

I have purchased several of the Dover Little Activity Books to create extra special Christmas gifts for the children of two families. The vast variety of activities provided in these books will no doubt provide them with several hours of screen-free entertainment!!

Very basic designs, meant for younger child. Pocket size and great for travel. Space to colour in some of the designs as well as completing the activities but 9 year old completed the entire book in less than 20 minutes.
