Boring :-( Buy a different journal for your kids, or the Buddha Doodle one is great for them as well.

I have to agree with the previous review. There is nothing fun about this journal.  My daughter wants to steal my Buddha Doodle journal because it is beautiful. I will be buying one for her to replace this one.  This unfortunately is not worth the price. The pages look like they were printed in a basement, and the prompts are the same on every page. The over all look of this is very very amateur, and not in a fun adorable way.  There are way better journals out there for kids, and honestly the ones for adults would get more praise from my 9 year old.

These books are easy to read, but very boring. They do not keep kids engaged, and they do not focus on fonics if you want your kids to learn fonics while reading.

This books is so boring that my 2 year old (who loves reading book after book) will roll over and fall asleep before we can get through this one. Some of the pictures are cute but read this book before buying it yourself. It seems like it is written by a 5year old.

We bought this laptop for my son for his 2nd birthday. He had another toy laptop that he LOVED to play with, so we went ahead and bought this one so he could learn something as well.  He never touched it until we'd had it about 6 months, and even then he would play with it for less than a minute before walking away.  The screen is much too small, and the graphics are boring and black and white.  It just can not hold his interest.  Now that he's almost 3 and we've had it for a year, he still is bored with it. He can not figure out how to select a "game" on his own.  I bought this laptop on the recommendation of a friend whose 3 year old loved it, but it's just not exciting enough for my son I think.  He is too active to sit and play with this.  I wouldn't buy it again.

I jumped on the bandwagon after reading the article about how this is such a great technique for getting kids to sleep.  Unfortunately, it did not work at all for my 3 year old.  I may try it again as the instructions recommend, but during 31 minutes of reading (yes, I timed it), I could read several books that she shows a lot more interest in.  The pictures are simple and the text is very long (full pages of text).  I didn't even get through 1/4 of the page when she wanted to go to the next page to see the next picture.  She did not have the attention span to lay quietly and listen.  I yawned several times but I think it's because it is so long and tedious.  I think I will stick to her standard books for bedtime.  I gave it 2 stars because I can see how it may work for kids who are willing to listen, but unfortunately that is not my case.

***update. Second time I tried after she would not lay down for a nap and she was asleep by the time Roger met sleepy snail.  So it can work...depending how tired vs wound up your kid is,

I felt ripped off a little bit. You see those sample pages? On the left page they suggest to draw or paste a photo, on the right page they suggest the write something. That's how the entire book is. SAME 2 activities on each page. ZERO work went into making this book and it was quite disappointing. Journals for kids usually have a plethora of activities. This has nothing.

I was surprised that the teepee I bought did not have the drawings on it. Anywere.. I was expecting them to be there as advertised. It is blank. Quite boring actually. I suggested to my son, (as I bought this for my grandson) that they draw/paint there own drawings on it. Thats a good idea if you ask me. BUT... I would have been so much happier if it had them. Also I was not happy with how long it took to arrive. It was a birthday present so I had a time frame. Oh well...  LAL  (live and learn).

Very boring magazine.  The "free" patterns is a joke.  Try Burda or Ottobre and you won't be disappointed!

There are better and more basic book collections for young children on the market. The pictures in these books seem too busy and has too many words so my son is not at all interested in sitting down to look at them.

I would probably rate this with 1-star for my 3-year-old and 5-stars for my 6-year-old, so I'll just rate it 2-stars. My younger daughter didn't like the story and list interest after about 3 pages. I don't really blame her since it is very boring and slow (I know that this is part of the reason it works on some kiddos). She likes her name in it, but wasn't able to understand that the book was asking her to actually do certain things to relax. My son, however, fell into its spell and fell asleep within 5 minutes after reading the book. It's definitely NOT one I would read each night (yuck), but I could see reading it to a sick child that needs sleep or on a particularly exciting day, along with a read-along favorite to get my kids to calm down. It does have a typo in it ("the Roger "), which annoys me to no end, as an English teacher. This is definitely NOT the best story you will ever read to your children, but I'm happy for the author that he found a niche audience to help him rake in the dough!

I bought this out of random whim, thinking to give it to my brother who I think has a lot of anger inside of him, have a sense of humor and is "adult", nit to mention, he paints. I thought this would be a perfect gift for him as I could not think of anything better. He has lived i the Philippines and we have not seen each other for a while and all I have are stories about him being angry and all sorts of negative stuff going on with his life. Needless to say, my mother brought it to him on her last trip to there and he actually did not appreciate it. He thought he was too old to color and was wondering why I would send him such gift. Oh well. I tried. He then thoughtlessly and inattentively handed it over to her daughter to have as his 12 year old daughter is the creative artistic one in the family. FORTUNATELY, his 21 year old daughter was more aware and grabbed the book from his hand and took it for her. What do you know. It did not cross my mind to give this to a 21 year old lass. I guess it appeals to different kinds of people and personality.

My critique about the book is that it becomes boring and repetitive, lacking of imagination. It just is a book of curse words page after page.

In my opinion, I think this book was very boring. There were lots of hard words. I am only a child so I guess it is expected. So, what I'm saying is, children do not check this out until you think you can withstand boredom and some pretty rough vocabulary. Maybe when you're in middle school. I did not get half the words in here.  Thank you for reading. :D

Saw this in an article and thought it was worth a try.  I am a former preschool teacher and do tons of story read alouds...when reading this story to my son he looked at me like I had lost my mind.  The story did not help to put my son to sleep at all.  I figured it was money well spent if he at least liked the story, but it was mind numbingly boring as well!  We didn't even make it halfway through!  It may work for some people, but not for us.  I'll stick with books like Good Night Moon by Margaret Wise Brown or It's Time for Bed by Mem Fox!

I thought it would be nice to share poems with my son, that were supposed to be for children.  He just wasn't into it.  I'm glad it was a free book, so I don't feel it was a waste of money.  You child may be different than mine, so decide for yourself.

My son loves "Dear Zoo" (another flap book) but he doesn't like this one at all. I think it's too busy-looking, maybe?
