I loved this activity book because it was printed in color! The designs and graphics immediately caught my attention and I loved that they did not skimp on creating an activity book that is engaging. I also love that as an adult I still feel like you could enjoy this book with or without your children. I also like that there are varying activities for different age levels. --Jennifer Cayanan (@pinaylit), bookstagram influencer
