Dot's Entertainment!.......2007-09-01
I never outgrew my love of doing dot-to-dot puzzles, but I did outgrow the simple dot-to-dot books which are aimed at young children and seemingly were the only ones being made. So it was with great excitement that I came across David Kalvitis's excellent book on Amazon. This is what I have long been hoping to find: a dot-to-dot book that is actually enjoyable (and challenging) for adults!
The puzzles in this book, unlike the kiddie dot-to-dot puzzles of the past, have several adult-worthy features:
1.) The solution to most of the puzzles isn't immediately obvious. You won't be connecting 25 dots to complete a kite or a ball in this book! Instead, puzzles can include 200 to 300 (or more!) dots, in which many have to be connected in order to reveal what the final image might be.
2.) The act of simply connecting the dots is often a challenge! Many dots are spaced far apart and require long, straight lines zigzagging all around the page, which isn't as easy as it might seem. Your arm will get tired, but you will also get a nice sense of satisfaction after completing the more elaborate puzzles.
3.) Kalvitis includes several variations, including puzzles where you must connect several subsets of dots, puzzles where you start and stop your line, "fields of dots," and even dotless puzzles. This prevents monotony from ever setting in (along with the variety in the pictures themselves).
Older children would probably enjoy this book too, but the difficulty level would most likely frustrate younger kids. That's OK though... as I've already noted, there are plenty of simple dot-to-dot books already available for them. For everyone else, I highly recommend this one!
Challenging and Fun!!.......2007-08-15
My son absolutely loves this dot to dot book! He loves guessing what the picture is before he starts connecting dots, revising his guess as he works, and then seeing what the end result is. The # of dots on each page range from a low of 49 to a high 274, so your child does need good counting skills.
This is an excellent book that is always in our "Wait Bag" (a bag I keep for Drs. visits, etcetera).
My daughter loves it!.......2007-07-05
I bought this book for my 10 year old daughter and she really likes it. Right now she is into mazes and dot-to-dots and she is enjoying this book.
Excellant Book.......2007-01-24
My 8 year old son loves dot to dots, but seems to have outgrown most of the activity books that I usually find. He just wants the dot to dots, not the mazes, coloring, and word puzzles that he usually gets mixed in. This book had some really fun pictures. I had no idea what most of them were going to be until he was almost done. He could not put the book down!! I will most definately buy more books like this one.
Best Ever Dot - To - Dot Books.......2007-01-06
David Kalvitis has the best set of Dot - To - Dot books you can purchase. The others are cheap imitations and don't come close the " world class " quality David brings to his work. He still creates every inch of these books by himself and his commitment to excellence has never wavered. I still buy these and give them as presents all year long. The best thing about David's work is he is constantly fine tuning his craft to make the next book even better.

Great for Adults who are still Kids at heart.......2007-09-11
This is a great product for those who enjoyed doing Dot-to-Dots as a kid, but who want something a little more substantial than the typical offerings. The book has about 50 pages of great Dot-to-Dots, all of which consist of hundreds of dots. You can almost never tell what the picture is until you finish connecting the dots. I also recommend "The Greatest Dot-to-Dot Super Challenge" by the same author as well. That one has a few Dot-to-Dots with over 1000 dots per page!
Advanced Dot to Dot Books.......2007-09-09
My son would due the dot to dot books from Walmart in a short period of time. I wanted something more challenging for him. This book is more challenging.
Best of Dot to dot.......2007-01-09
I really enjoyed the dot to dot. My granddaughter enjoyed it just as much. She is 10 years old. Wish they had more out there like these because we have done all 4 books.
Nostalgic, but very cool.......2007-01-05
I hadn't done a dot to dot puzzle since I was a kid but got this book on a whim. I was pretty surprised! Some of the pictures are pretty intricate. On the other hand, a few are a little lame. But most are very cool. I've gone through all the "Greatest Dot-To-Dot book(s) in the World and they're worth it no matter what your age. Good for everyone, either sex. Really enjoyed all of them.
A little challenging for a 7 year old.......2006-11-08
Although this required a little assistance at first, my Granddaughter loves this. She can grasp numerical concepts easily. It helps to reinforce the counting into the higher numbers, which is appropirate for me, I have to get my glasses to see the numbers when assistance is needed. I would buy again.

Great Book!.......2007-01-19
Dot to Dot like you've never seen before. I bought this book for a child who loves dot to dot puzzles and this book is nothing but dot to dots. Plus the pictures are really great and challenging for 4-6 yr olds.
Dot-To-Dot Boks.......2007-01-09
I have a handicapped daughter who loves dot-to-dot books and Amazon.com is the only place I can find them. I have ordered from you last year and I am very pleased with the results.

The Greatest Dot To Dot Book In The World Book 4.......2003-10-07
This series of dot-to-dot books are wonderful. As a child, I loved games and challenges. Dot-to-dots and mazes were my favorites. I had no idea these books even existed until I saw them in a Bits and Pieces catalog several weeks ago. 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 even if these books were for children. I'm in the baby-boomer generation, so I confess I like to revisit my childhood era occasionally.
Boy, was I surprised! When they came in the mail, I sat up until 5 a.m. the next morning working some of the puzzles. I am retired with 30 years in my local school system, so it wasn't like I had to get up early. After I would complete one puzzle, I would think I'll just do one more. Then another. Then another. I tried all the different types of puzzles. I am so excited and I wanted your customers to know how much I enjoyed them.
Even my 76 year old mother enjoyed working the puzzles. Like me, she was very skeptical about ordering sight unseen.
I hope to see future publications of new books. I look forward to seeing Books 5, 6, 7, etc. real soon.
Product Description

No page is complete until it has been folded along the dotted lines, cut around, poked through, colored in or scribbled out. Since this is no ordinary coloring book, we couldn't attach any ordinary crayons. These five twist-up colors (brilliant red, orange, yellow, green and blue) are extra-long soft wax pencils housed in plastic tubes. With these babies, you can color outside the lines in style. Written by the editors of Klutz. For ages 4 and up.

Niece Just Loved It.......2007-02-04
I gave this book to my niece for Christmas and she just loved it. She was drawing and playing the games immediately after we had openned all the presents.
Does NOT live up to it's title........2005-12-16
The contents of this activity book do not live up to the title. Many are not "on the go" activities, let alone easy for little kids to follow without supervision. As a teacher, this proved to be a poor investment of my time and money. You would be best to not make the same mistake.
A great grab-and-go time filler.......2005-12-09
My 7- and 8-year-old daughters frequently choose their copies of this book to bring along on outings where they know they'll need to fill 'down time.' It has been very helpful while waiting at doctors' offices, between races at long swim meets, or for when we've arrived too early at an event. It is compact enough (the size of a thin binder) to bring along in a backpack or keep tucked in the storage compartments in our car. The colored pencils are very durable, as are the sturdy cover and pages of the book. (We've had ours for over a year, and nothing has ripped or broken!) The protective case attached to the book in which the colored pencils come holds them very securely, so they don't get lost or separated from the book. Now our kids like giving them to friends as gifts, then they work on the pages together!

Squirrels and Chipmunks and Birds Oh My!.......2007-04-11
I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Good realistic drawings ... detailed for the older child or senior adult. Includes useful informational verbage on each page pertaining to the subject.

These are great for purses!!.......2007-07-30
Ever try to put a maze or crossword book in your purse? They don't make them that small. These dot to dot books are great for traveling. I always have one to do while waiting for my appointments. I can't draw freehand, but with these at least I can pretend. You never see the image before you start like the little kid connect the dots. And if you haven't tried his newest book "Super Challenge", just wait! It's not named Super Challenge for nothing!! It took over an hour to do the crazy dot puzzle! But at least I know I will finish it. I hate getting a puzzle that I just can't finish without looking at the answer key.
GREATEST NEWSPAPER DOT-TO-DOT PUZZLES VOL. 1.......2007-02-08
I was very dissappointed in this product. Firstly, the "book" was only about 4x4" square and had maybe 20 pages in it. For $5.95, I really didn't think it was worth the time or money to ship.
Great for Traveling.......2006-02-01
We'd already purchased the Greatest Dot-to-Dot Books, Volumes I-IV by the same creator David Kalvitis. They are so much fun. You'll get hooked instantly. This "newspaper" edition is smaller in size so it's easy to take on the road or take someplace where a small activity is needed. David Kalvitis is #1 with me. I can't wait to see what dot-to-dots he creates for us next.
Awesome.......2005-05-31
Couldn't stop doing these puzzles. They came to life. Fought over the book with my brother and sister - we definitely need more of these.
Loved this book!.......2005-03-25
I personally loved this book! Amazing pictures, fun to do, keep you busy books! The little pocket books would be great to take with you, wherever you go! Some of the puzzles are hard, and you have to think on some of them, but overall it's a cute book!"

Good for Children.......2007-01-05
I've gone through all the "Greatest Dot-To-Dot book(s) in the World and they're worth it no matter what your age. Good for everyone, either sex. Really enjoyed all of them so I got this book on a whim. Not as good as the Greatest DTD books in the World. The pictures are good, mostly animals which is nice but a little too simple, better for children than adults but still recommended.
Great and Hard to Find.......2006-12-27
A variety of dot-to-dot books are hard to find, so I resorted to the internet and found a couple on amazon. These are great books and just what I was looking for. They are for my 7 year old and they are so easy for him. I still would like to find harder ones though!
