Comments from our customers:

"Loves it!  Wants to do it every day."

"I've been using the Can You Find Me? with my 5 yr-old son the past few weeks along with his learning-to-read program and he loves these books!  It's great to see his little mind working and how pleased he is when he figures something out.  I like that these products are more challenging and thought-provoking than most workbooks geared for his grade level."

"My daughter absolutely loves the Can You Find Me? book.  That is her favorite.  I like it because I can ask her questions about how she arrived at the answer and understand her thinking processes.  Also, that way I know if she is guessing or really knows why that is right.  I never tell her if she gets an answer wrong, I simply use that information to know what subjects we should read about and talk about in the rest of our preschool time.  I like that she is just not memorizing things and really has to think logically to arrive at the answer.  It also helps me gauge how much she is learning from other curriculum.  These are great for teaching many of those abstract concepts that aren't covered in more traditional curriculum."
