 Good Concept, Mediocre ExecutionJul 29, 2010
I live on the West Coast and I bought this product for a trip to the East Coast. Besides the flight to the East Coast, we were going to go on a 4 hour (one way) road trip to a family wedding and I thought this product would be perfect for this trip-within-a-trip as my four year old is always asking me to tell her a story.
The first thing I noticed about this product is that the cards are VERY FLIMSY. Too flimsy, in my opinion, to be a durable toy for a pre-literate child!
I have bought Eeboo toys in the past and, in the past, was impressed with the thickness and durabliity of their cardboard/paper products. Not so with this card set!
Secondly, I feel that to get the true educational experience out of it (i.e. your child uses the cards to make up their own story) you need a lot of space to spread many cards out at once. That was not possible on our plane trip nor on our road trip.
I think this is a very good concept.........I just wish Eeboo had not skimped on the cardstock and I wish I had not assumed it would be a great toy for a road trip.
 Great for little imaginationsJul 07, 2010
What an incredible product. The cards themselves are very durable and the artwork is adorable. We bought a set for our daughter's third birthday; we have only used them a few times but I can tell they will be a big hit and a great interactive game for us to use together. She is just coming into the age where she loves to tell stories and her imagination is running wild. I will definitely be buying other sets to compliment this one.
It also makes a great and unique gift; I purchased a second set as a gift for a 2-year-old and his parents loved it. Don't hesitate to buy this.
Spending timeFeb 10, 2010
I bought this for my godson (3), he doesn't fully understand how the book works but he really loves the stories that we create with the cards. No story is the same. I will be buying him the other books from this series and may cut up some second hand books to make my own.

Fun family time!Jan 05, 2010
We bought these for our 5-year-old received these for Christmas -- a big hit! The cards are really high quality and durable. The illustrations are sweet and funny, just right for inspiring some good, wacky, nonsensical, mysterious -- you name it -- stories. As our 5-year-old is just learning to read, these have given her some new ways to think about storytelling and to build those cognitive skills as she develops her reading skills. Our 7-year-old is an avid storyteller and is enjoying them, too. Even our 2 1/2-year-old loves the pictures (she thinks the owl dressed in a police officer's hat talking to squirrels in a tree is hilarious). We know she will grow into these further, and the quality means they'll have some staying power. Highly recommended for good family fun and alone-time play that builds storytelling skills.

Creative story-telling!Dec 27, 2009
I bought this for my sister's 2-year-old son who already knows his alphabet. Since she is an English teacher, she really likes it. It is a very different and creative take on storybooks for kids.
