"Just a quick note to let you know how much I really enjoy your Dot-to-Dot books. You sent me a sample page with my order and anyone who took a page with them came back and purchased a book. These are perfect for anyone 11 to 101. The final pictures where both surprising and imaginative. My husband and I have it on our coffee table and have a great time doing them. Thank you for reminding us how much fun Dot-to-Dots can be, even when you're adults. "Can't wait for Book 3. "P.S. They are great for travel, stick one in your 'carry on' to do on the plane or in the hotel and airport. Also stick one in your desk drawer to doodle with when you need a break from your computer."
- Faith Brush, The Treasured Child, La Grange, KY
