“While the book series we reviewed is admittedly called SUMMER Big Fun Workbook, the reality is that it is a brilliantly fun and educational book that you and your child can play all year round . . . Inside, your child will discover a marvelous variety of activities that will keep them entertained and engaged . . . All the activities align with the school standards, and they really do cover the entire curriculum, from the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, and patterns for younger kids, to code-breaking, mathematics, writing and matching games for older children, and so much more.”
