Summary: My 8 year old LOVES this book!
Comment: Let me start with the fact that I know nothing about Pokemon... And more than likely, I will never ever know anything about it other than my son thinks Pokemon is cool. So, if he likes it, so do I!

This book was one of his Christmas gifts that I had purchased for him and he was so excited when he saw it. He said that it helps him beat the Pokemon game on his Nintendo DS because he now knows their weaknesses and strengths (apparently while playing the DS, a player can chose certain weapons and personalize fights?).

To rate this book, I would have to give it a 5 star simply because my son likes it so much.

Summary: Definitely a Pokemon essential.
Comment: My son has been a Pokemon afficionado for a couple of years now so he very discerning in his selection of related material. The thing he likes about this book is that it has ALL the Pokemon in it along with information about them. A year or so ago he bought the Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Pokedex: Prima Official Game Guide Vol. 2 (Prima Official Game Guides) which is, understandably, extremely detailed and in depth. He prefers that book to this one, but it's still worth getting for the true Pokemon fan.

Summary: Pokemon: Ultimate Handbook
Comment: My daughter has interests in many popular childhood games. I reviewed the content of this book to determine the appropriateness for children. The language is appropriate for children of all ages. There really is no educational value for this book, unless you consider memorizing each character, as my child has done.

This book is in full color and is an extensive catalog of every Pokemon character. The illustrations are fabulous. The text is organized into alphabetical order with the proper name, code name, pronunciation, possible moves, type of character, height, weight, and region of origin is detailed. The forms by which each character evolves (or does not evolve) is illustrated and what the respective names are for each stage is depicted. Special facts about each character are also given.

My daughter loves this book. How does she use it? She looks at the photographs and draws her favorite characters. She has also memorized the names of each character, special moves, and evolution of characters.

VERDICT

This makes a great gift or stocking stuffer for your Pokemon fan.

Summary: Gerald's Favorite
Comment: My son reads and reads and reads this book. He is seven and is a bit of an advanced reader. This book is a MUST for any young Pokemon fan. My son did find a few errors (evolved forms or photos mis-named); perhaps he'll be an editor someday! Anyway, there is a great variety of words and reading it together gives him the opportunity to discover some new "big words"!
