This is a colorful workbook with 64 pages of activities. The layout is very good for small children because it is not crowded. The book shows ages 3 thru 5, and Amazon has ages 4 thru 8. My opinion would be that this book is more appropriate for 3 to 4 year olds.
Activities include Math, Science, and Reading Readiness. Most of the activities require writing in the form of circling various items; drawing lines between items, or drawing lines down a path. The only real writing that is requested is for numbers. For example, the book asks for the child to write down how many baby ducks are in the picture. This request is a little odd because there is no practice writing exercises in this book. Apparently they are assuming that the child is learning this elsewhere.
Regarding the writing -- You can do what we did (since my son doesn't write at all), and just point at the items, and count them out loud etc., and not write anything. This approach means that you can reuse the book with another or the same child later on.
Science - There are a number of good activities. For example: matching momma animals to their babies; counting the number of legs on various animals; as well as graphing the answers. This latter is done by coloring a box for every animal counted. I rather like this exercise as it cleverly introduces the concept of `graphing' in a way children can relate to. Another thought provoking activity was distinguishing `living' from `non-living' things: an exercise that can easily led to conversation in the kitchen or out in the yard.
