Summary: Great book!
Review: I bought the book for my daughter when she was 5, and learning to read, it really helped her hone her skills. She's seven now, and recently found the book. She now makes treasure hunts for me! It now helps her organization skills and ability to follow directions (having to remember to look for the next hiding spot before hiding the present clue)

Summary: Lots of fun, and oh so educational!
Review: I don't usually write book reviews, but this book is such a winner! My 5-1/2 year old daughter loves to do these treasure hunts as soon as she wakes up in the morning or when she returns from school. Not only is it fun, but it's educational too -- practice reading and following instructions. The sheer fun and receiving the sticker at the end of the hunt are more than enough to entice her to play. In fact, she keeps asking for more hunts! I'll definitely order more copies of this book and give them away as gifts -- perfect for 5 to 7 year olds.

Summary: An excellent, fun tool for parents to enjoy and kids love!
Review: I stumbled on this through Children's Book of the Month Club. My son loved it from the very first...he often asks for me to remember to "make tomorrow a treasure hunt day". The earliest groups, each having four clues, include more drawings as hints. As they progress there is more word description and less picture help. The award sticker incentives have not been motivating for my son...he just loves having the challenge and feeling successful. I am sure that many children would find them a treat! The final page of each hunt includes a fun, thematic match-up game...one more skill building opportunity which challenges without overwhelming. The style and tone of the coaching and instructions are particularly calming and encouraging for those parents and children who are reading resistant, as the author's son (and co-writer) was. A real winner...I love to give this book as a gift for those beginning this age group!

Summary: It's a HIT!
Review: My 6-year-old nephew LOVES THIS! He now requests a Treasure Hunt every day and reminds his Mother if he doesn't get one. He doesn't even care about the 'reward' at the end--he just loves finding the clues! He's just finishing kindergarten tomorrow and they have already done 11 'hunts.' I think we'll need a Volume Two!

Summary: Great idea!
Review: My daughter is just starting to read, is literally on her first words, so even the first hunts are a bit too hard. However, I have taken the idea and made my own hunts with snigle words she does know. Once she can string a short sentence together, then I will start using hunts from the book. She loves doing the hunts I've made for her and I can tell the whole experiment will be a reading success! This is a small, fat book with pages that you tear out to hide for your kids. You could just make up hunts yourself, but why when the book is so inexpensive? Plus, you can use thm over and over again.

Summary: Great book!
Review: My four year old loves to do these treasure hunts! It has been very helpful in teaching him to read. He is halfway through the book and reads most of the clues by himself. Great teaching tool!
