My 10-year-old daughter Phoebe said, "I worked through Book One.

 My favorite dot-to-dot puzzle was the Crazy Dots. 

Crazy Dots were not in my book so my sister let me do one that was in her

her book. It really liked the Field of Dots. It was a really time consuming 

dot-to-dot puzzle but it was fun. I really liked the Star puzzles where you 

stop at each star and then skip to the next number and start your line again. 

The normal dot-to-dot puzzles that did not go way high 

past 100 or so were easy and fun. The dot-to-dot puzzles that went to almost 

200 made my eyes water. The No Dot puzzles were fun too. I was so sad when I finished

my book and I had no more puzzles to do." 

There are two basic tips to create the best pictures.

Try to make lines as straight as possible.

Follow number order.

My 15-year-old daughter Karis said, "I worked through Book 2. I liked the Stars puzzles

where you stop at each star, then skip to the next number and start your line again.

Working through the puzzles is calming. They are easy to work on while 

watching TV or listening to music. The variety of dot-to-dot puzzles is so much better

than the normal, boring dot-to-dot puzzles that we all are used to working on."

Using a fairly think pen or marker will allow the final image to 

emerge or pop from the page. Throughout each of the 4 books there

are helpful hints such as this one that will make your dot-to-dots look amazing! Some

of the other hints talked about are Long Distances between points, and Origins and 

History?. In Origins and History it talks about where dot-to-dots come from. For example,

Architectural design, perspective, the mysterious vanishing point. 

Astronomy is one of the first examples of connecting points via stars. 

Art, an example would be Pointillism. 

Geometry connects points with lines to various points using shapes. 

My 12-year-old was excellent at guessing the pictures way before anyone else.

I decided to work through one of the books after I saw how much fun my kiddos

were having. I intended to let my 18-year-old work through the 4th book but

I just could not resist myself. Once I started working through the 

puzzles I was addicted. It was relaxing and so much fun!! I loved the 

variety of puzzle types. One is definitely NEVER 

TO OLD to do dot-to-dots!! After completing the book I was finding myself desperate for

more books, lol. I got online to see the other dot-to-dot books from

Monkeying Around. 

My 12-year-old daughter Megan said, "My favorite dot-to-dot puzzle was the Crazy

Dots. I also liked the Sets where you stop your line after competing each set, then 

skep to the ext set and start your line again. It took me 2 days to complete the whole

Dot-to-Dot book. I worked through Book 3 in the series. I cannot wait to get more of

these books. I hope that they get harder as the series goes on. They are so much fun!!"

After completing Books 1-4 Dot-to-Dot enthusiasts can move onto
