by: David Kalvitis Amazon.com's Price: $6.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This series of dot-to-dot books are wonderful. As a child, I loved games and challenges.

I looked them up on Amazon and found there were four books. I ordered all four books from Amazon even though I thought I would probably be disappointed if they were too simple. Even as an adult, I still work dot-to-dots when I find them in magazines and newspapers, so I figured I had nothing to lose ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
