Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Fun! Comment: We LOVE this book! It was a Christmas gift for my 6-year old son and he spent half the day working on it after opening his gifts, nearly finishing it. It basically is a fill-in-the-blank type book and the child answers questions on each page pertaining to themselves. My only complaint is that it isn't long enough! My son kept very busy counting forks, windows and steps in our house and is now working on collecting autographs. I think it will be a lot of fun to look back on someday and I had this book as a child and remember it fondly. Customer Rating: Summary: Great gift and rainy day book Comment: I bought one of these for each of my kids to complete when they were 5 ... although my daugter is waiting until a first tooth comes out to fill hers out! (soon we think... but she might be 6 first!) It is fun and a great book to keep around to read later. We also bought one for a friend recently who was in the hospital for 6 mos 1200 miles away from most of the family for a bone marrow transplant (only mom moved with her for this period), it was great for her to be able to give a task to a brother or sister at home each day (ie, hey count how many forks are in our house)to get her book completed. Mom reported back that she absolutely loved teh book. Customer Rating: Summary: Great book! Comment: My sister and I had this book when we were kids. She filled hers out when she was about 5 (1976) and I did mine when I was 8 (1986). My mom saved them and it was so fun to go through when she brought them out! The book is great. It allows kids to draw a picture, write a story and answer questions about themselves. Even if they aren't reading yet it's something parents and kids can work on together. Somethings are a little harder to figure out (# of steps to closest store) but it really is fun. It does need a little updating (a newer edition maybe)... when it asks what country you live in it still has East Germany, West Germany and the Soviet Union as options. Now I understand it is hard to keep up with all the small changing countries, but those are pretty major! But that's the only thing. Even that could be a teaching moment for parents and kids. I am buying several as gifts this Christmas. Customer Rating: Summary: Theodore Giesel (Dr Seuss) at his best Comment: Wonderful book! I've bought three copies over the years for three of my kids/grandkids when they were 5 or 6 years old. It's their book, to write the answers in (in fact the first thing is to have the kid write his name in it!), to read and figure out, etc. Highly recommended both for the parent/grandparent - and, more importantly, for the kid. Customer Rating: Summary: Dr. Seuss at it's best Comment: My Book About Me This book is great! My young reader loves the interactiveness of being able to count all the steps in the house, find out the color of his eyes and tell all the things about his life at this moment. I'm thinking about adding some scrapbook pages for each year for some of the questions that will change over time. The best part is, I can show him My Book About Me that I completed in the 1970's.
