Summary: Lots of fun, and oh so educational!
Comment: 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: terrific motivational game for beginning or reluctant reader
Comment: This is a terrific, practical little book for you and your beginning or reluctant reader. After a friendly introduction in which the author discusses various methods of reading instruction, the book contains the clues and solutions for 50 treasure hunts! Just tear out the pages, fold them and place them in the appropriate spots. For example, Treasure Hunt 1: Clue 1 tells you to "Look under a pan", Clue 2 reads "Look under your bed", Clue 3 says "Look under the bath mat" and the solution page reads "Great. You did it! Come get your sticker." There are even 50 stickers at the back of the book (the idea of the author's son, who contributes a charming introduction as well). Each solution also has a bonus game of matching words to pictures, and successive hunts get more challenging in length and vocabulary.
This is a terrific idea, well executed and thought out. Who doesn't love a treasure hunt? You'll undoubtedly be looking for a sequel or be inspired to construct your own treasure hunts when you finish these fifty exercises.
Excellent resource.

Summary: Great idea!
Comment: 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.
