My son uses this for crossline therapy and it works very well. It was a good value for the price. The pictures in the book could be a bit bigger, but they work. We're very satisfied.

I bought this for my husband. He loves puzzles and is very good at these. It helps him wind down. It is easy to just pick up and play anywhere.

This is a spiral bound book of puzzles with a set of beautiful wooden tangram shapes. The tangrams are made of quality wood and crafted well so that there are no rough edges. They are pleasant to hold, feel, and move about as you try to solve the puzzle. There is a plastic container for holding the tangrams bound into the book at the beginning, so you don't have to worry about losing your puzzle pieces. The book is broken into categories such as "animals," "tools", and "shapes" as well as many others. The puzzle outlines are small and there are about 15-20 different puzzles to a page. The puzzles in each category range from simple to very tricky, so what is offered will provide a challenge and hold the interest of a player for a long time. It is a game that can be and will be revisited repeatedly. That is a marker of a good game. The solutions are provided at the back of the book if you just have to know, but it takes the fun out of solving the puzzle independently. This quality toy is highly recommended.

I was looking for a book with pieces that could be layed on top of the puzzle, for my 4yo child. The pictures in this book are too small for putting pieces directly on the book. If I wanted to do that I would have to copy/enlarge the pictures. However I got this because of the wood pieces. The wood pieces are easier to handle than foam or laminated paper ones for sure. I was suprised to find that my child can spend hours making the puzzles while looking at the answer key in the back. My child will sometimes attempt a puzzle from the front of the book too, but that is beyond his grasp right now. I think it is just a matter of time before he is ready for the front of the book. I would buy again. I like this book better than some that are targeted for children (which show the outer shapes and the inner shape outlines, much like this answer key, but where where the pictures are the same size as the pieces).

The wooden shapes are well made with soft edges and smooth finish. The book is spiral bound with a plastic holder for the shapes when put away. The plastic container is a little flimsy and may wear out, however, it's fine if you are careful. I think a canvas pouch or similar would work better. Overall it's the better of the others I looked at.
