My son's favorite book

This was my son's favorite book from the time he was 2 1/2 to 3. Every page is a detailed, colorful, busy scene and the text directs a path through the picture. Kids learn lots of prepositions as they direct their fingers "around" "under" "over" various objects. My son was reading before he was three and I swear that memorizing the text of this book helped him learn. It compelled his attention and kept him coming back.

A fun favorite!

This colorful busy book is a favorite with my 3-year-olds. Each page is a loosely-formed maze, where the children have to "start at the pink and orange coral," go "around the place where starfish dance," and so on until a toy is found at the end of each page. Every direction is accompanied by a picture (coral, starfish, etc.) - my 3-yr-old, who can't read a word, actually reads the book to me, making me follow the directions. He feels so proud telling everyone that he can read the book.The book successfully combines reading and activity to keep children entertained over and over. They love whispering their way past the scary monsters in the last page to finally save Brave Ted. And if they get bored with just following the mazes, there are plenty of fun things to find in each page.This book is a definite keeper, and I'm now looking for more by the same author!

Wonderful book!

CP books are real treasures-- wonderful, witty illustrations (by a variety of talented artists), funny, smart, never condescending. Each book involves the child on a number of levels, with puzzles (matching, mazes, searches, etc) that might even stump a parent or two... for awhile.Kids go back to them again and again, so do yourself and your children--or someone else's children, a big favor and give all of CP 's books a try (though 'Save Brave Ted' is an absolute favorite of one adorable rugrat of my aquaintance, and then there's 'Captain Blood', and Clarence the Cat and those crazy spacemen from the planet ...)
