This isn't a bad book at all. I brought this book because my child likes to explore using her hands, as most kids do, and as parents we know that 'can' be detrimental on the house and the parents state-of-mind lol! But this book is quite unique! Everything in one complete package, so no more headache purhcasing additional items to keep her focussed. I especially like the ongoing story, because she now has something to look forward too! Doesn't break the bank, and she's thoroughly enjoying the book and kit! Now I have something to get her for Christmas. Great stuff! Good find.
