This book is great for a child who is just being introduced to early forms of education. My son is 3 in november and will not start school nursery until next year although he does go to a nursery it seems to be more play related. I brought the book to help him get a head start for next year. The tasks in the book can be challenging for him but they are laid out so you can simplify the task to suite yourself and child. The book also comes with a sheet of gold star stickers and clever welldone etc which is a great insentive for a young child..
