This is a great busy book for young kids. It has a nice variety of activities to cover the basics (i.e. reading, math, phonics). Some of the activities were a breeze, while others required a little help and explanation. This workbook has bright colors and cute illustrations to help keep the attention of kids. Fabulous for a summer review workbook for kids leaving first grade and entering second. The price point is amazing. For the paper back it was only about $6 and the spiral a few bucks more. This book is pretty thick so it will last a while, but that is also the only draw back I could find. It would be far too bulky to take on as an airplane activity book. Overall, I highly recommend!
