Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
Rarely does a book combine learning and fun so well. This book is very educational (it has helped make my kids wild about geography) yet has a humor that is simple enough for my two year old to laugh and sophisticated enough to make me laugh as well.

from New Video Group
Price: $12.99

Customer Review:
Frankly, I was disappointed with the video. It seemed rather dull to me, in comparison to reading the book itself, which I thought unique, entertaining, and hilarious. Then, I am a rather animated reader to my students with voices, etc. It is a complicated read, so if your not up to it, buy the...

Customer Review:
I got this game for my 5-year-old daughter, who loves geography. It became her favorite game in no time flat. You spin the spinner, read the continent and country, and try to find the country on the map. If you are successful, you get to move the given number of spaces on the spinner. At intervals,...

Customer Review:
Yes, the artwork is clever and cute. But, this book, while it has some good information, is also laced with very negative statements that can frighten a child. It is meant to be humerous - but it is very negative. You judge: here are examples:

I stumbled upon this game years ago, and my family has enjoyed it--even my adult friends, who seemed to balk at first at playing a kids' game. This past year, I decided to purchase it for my sixth grade classroom. I must say...WOW. I allowed the kids to play it for a while during homeroom, and kids...

Customer Review:
Chomp is a fast card game that works best with three or more players but still has several variations for use with two players. The object is simple, get all of the cards. This is done by simulating the food chain in the ocean and being very quick to recognize cards and react faster than the other...

Customer Review:
This is a great educational game: it is fun and in no time kids learn the concept of negative numbers. It is rated for kids 10 and up, but I've played with my son who is 5 and he has no problem playing this game, though he did not want to sit through my explanation of what a negative number was...

Another great Gamewright creation that my 6 yr old and I love to play! It requires a bit of concentration and a quick hand. If your kids like Slap Jack, they'll love this. The illustrations are great. The slamwich "ingredients" are..."interesting"...sardines, french toast, gummy worms...mmm! I...
