Customer Reviews

Fun is no illusion with this book!

I bought this book to use with a summer reading program and has it been a hit! The age groups that enjoyed the activities in this book range in age from 6-15 years old. Each student was able to walk away knowing how to share at least one of the optical illusions to share with their family. We've had a blast using this book and highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys being fascinated.
