Thanks for mentioning them... I think they're great.<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth- thanks for reminding me about Roxie Munro. I appreciate it... and thanks for the heads up about the Judith Rossell books.

There's more than one per page, so they make scenes, and they range in difficulty.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403847331129798861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-73362499533045213302008-08-26T11:30:00.000-04:002008-08-26T11:30:00.000-04:00When I was a substitute teacher, I liked using pag...When I was a substitute teacher, I liked using pages from <A HREF="http://www.susanstriker.com/" REL="nofollow">Anti-Coloring Books</A>.

We were saved during Tropical Storm Fay (we were vacationing in Miami) by the Puzzlemania books put out by Highlights; for younger kids (3-7), try PuzzleBuzz or Hidden Pictures Playground. I think you might have to subscribe to these, though (we had some old ones lying around).<BR/><BR/>The kids really love jigsaw puzzle books (the ones with 6 or so puzzles in them).<BR/><BR/>And I really love the Taro Gomi books: Scribbles, Doodles, etc.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Anamaria (bookstogether)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10361389598002568007noreply@blogger.com
