Great activity book

I have taught Kindergarten and never liked the use of activity books/sheets, etc... . My 4 yr old daughter loves busytown and asked for this when she saw it on Amazon. I bought it against my will only to find that it actually had some really nice things for her to do. It wasnt just filled with "practice" sheets; although there were some of those with tracing letters and numbers. It had a section for her to make a mobile, make a paper town and even had an assortment of national flags that she could decorate with. The ideas and projects are very traditional and most children dont get to do these kinds of projects or have ever heard of them. When she made the flags, other children that came to our home didnt even know that other countries had flags. She learned quite a bit from this book such as: flags to other countries, holiday pracitces, writing her letters and numbers, sequencing and patterning. There were pages that were just for coloring which she didnt have an interest in but I thought they were nice illustrations that most children would enjoy. Dot to dot was also in the book, as was making mothers day cards, fathers day cards, valentines day cards, and thank you cards which was nice to teach children to do after receiving something. There was also a place to make bookmarks, bookplates, and easter decorations (other holiday decorations too). Most of the projects, for my daughters age required me working with her as opposed to her working on her own, but it was enjoyable for me as well as Richard Scarry does a nice job with his writing and illustraions.

Great book

I had this book as a child and loved it. So, this Christmas I bought three copies for each of the 7 year olds in my family. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did. I used it for many years when I was little.

This really is the Best Rainy Day Book, ever!

Our children loved Richard Scarry when they were little, and they still do! This wonderful activity book is great for homeschooling families. The calendar and holiday pages are great for notebooking projects. Don't miss this one!

My kids love it!

My kids love the activities in this book. From dot-to-dots, colouring pages and making cards to a whole little village of paper houses, they have spent hours colouring and taping and creating the things in this book. I used it as part of my homeschool kindergarten curriculum for my oldest son and I will definitely be buying it again for the others.

Still a fun book

I was expecting the same one I had as a child and purchased in the '80's. This one was half the size. A lot of the pages are printed only on one side because they are cut-outs so I feel a lot is missing. I am a little disappointed that it isn't the big book. I have one of the older ones but a lot of the pages are colored and I teach now. I wanted to be able to make copies for the kids but not of things I have colored. At least all the calendars are in there and there is something for every holiday (I think). Still, I am very happy to have this one to make copies from. As always, Richard Scarry is lots of fun.
