About Three provides an introduction to and practice in motor skills such as hand-eye coordination and visual comparison of objects. It also gives some primary exposure to number concepts.

On each page there are simple instructions, and some pages have short paragraphs of interest for the young child. You, as the parent, will need to read these instructions to your child, and help him or her understand what is to be done.

On most pages you will notice small arrows with each exercise, indicating the direction the lines are to be drawn. We recommend you instill this basic left-to-right pattern into your young child as these activities are done. It is something that needs to be learned, and the younger the child learns it, the easier it seems to be.

To get the most out of this book, the child might first do the exercises without a pencil, using the fingers only. It could then be repeated with a pencil, and then yet another time with a crayon.

Bigger Steps has exercises that are slightly advanced from those in the first book. However, the main focus remains the same.

On each page there are simple instructions, and some pages have short paragraphs of interest for the young child. You will need to read these instructions to your child and help him or her understand what is to be done.

On the first several pages you will notice that small arrows are still used with each exercise, indicating the direction the lines are to be drawn.

Color, Count, and Cut was designed to provide practice in the three arts which the title suggests.

The main focus is on coloring exercises.

The activities not only provide practice in coloring pictures, they should also help to reinforce the child's ability to distinguish the eight basic colors if that concept is not already established in your youngster.

Because most children this age cannot be expected to learn to recognize the actual color words, this book uses a color code using eight different geometric shapes.

Doing My Best was designed with the four- or five-year-old in mind.

The color code used corresponds with the one in Color, Count, and Cut. If that book has just recently been completed, your child will likely remember what color each shape stands for. If not, you will want to make sure each shape in the code is colored correctly before attempting to do the exercises in this book. The code will then provide the help needed to do the coloring exercises.

These exercises should provide hours of interesting and worthwhile activities for your preschooler. This should help to establish a solid base which will be a benefit once the child starts with actual school work later on.
