The idea of Mind Inventions is to help kids learn the thought process in solving problems. We believe exams are not about memorizing questions and answers but more about developing the ability to problem solve and rationalize. The best feature about our workbook is that it can be re-used multiple times, saving parents money from buying additional books. Play an active role in helping guide your child so they can reach their full potential, perfect for homeschool. Pinpoint the child's strengths/weakness and re-use the book again and again until your child is fully comfortable and understands the concepts clearly.
Practice key OLSAT topics tested during Gifted and Talented standardized testing exams. Our workbook is filled with activities to balance out the content and make learning enjoyable and fun..

It’s very hard to redo the problems with other regular books on the market but this wipe clean book is fantastic, we already did some problems multiple times
This Book is exactly what we were looking for! As we are preparing our daughter for the g&t exam we ended up buying multiple books and in many cases two of them. It’s very hard to redo the problems with other regular books on the market but this wipe clean book is fantastic, we already did some problems multiple times. The dry erase pen is great and it wipes off so easy. It’s already hard enough for kids to focus but book does a great job in spreading the material out. After only a few minutes my kids get tired but this book kept our daughter engaged and she could not wait to finish the section to do the fun activity. This book does have a great mix of problems from easy to difficult and was even useful for our 3 year old, she loved the dinosaur problems and stickers :) The book is sturdy and comes with flashcards too. We are looking forward for Smartie Books to release more books hopefully soon!
The BEST gifted and talented prep books EVER!
We are prepping for the NYC Gifted and Talented and these books are the BEST of all the books we have purchased. We got both the NNAT and OLSAT books. The OLSAT book has a total of 7 chapters: shape creation, analogies, directions & aural reasoning, classification, series completion, arithmetic reasoning and pattern matrices. First off, they have the dry-erase feature so the books are easy to reuse and you can wipe a wrong answer off in a second. The content of the book is fun and colorful with easy to understand instructions. More importantly, the questions are tough enough that I know my child is being challenged but he’s having fun at the same time. It doesn’t “feel” like test prep. The answer key is clear and easy to use by parents that don’t know the answers. It also has a set of flash cards for on-the-go learning. Wish they made different books for all subjects from PK-6! Don’t think twice. Get this book immediately!!!
Great workbook; easy to wipe clean and reuse
Great material. Engaging for my 4 year old and easy for him to use and wipe clean. Love the added “fun” sections. I wish the flash cards in the back where a little easier to be used independently (having the answers on a separate card) but overall a great product.
Good quality book
This workbook is a really high quality product. When I opened the package I was pleasantly surprised because the online pictures don't convey how well made this book is. It's a nice large format, the pages are thick and glossy so that they can be wiped clean and used again. This is very convenient because in my experience young children need that repetition to trully master the skill. I loved the fact that the book already comes with a dry erase marker attached to the book so you don't need to go looking for one and once you're done working, you just slide it back in and it's there for the next session. What I also liked is that the illustrations are very attractive, age appropriate, and full of vibrant colors so that a young child will associate the book with fun activity vs just boring pencil and paper work. Each section of the book begins with a very clear and to the point explanation about what skill is being mastered. Common Core standards caused a lot of confusion for parents and students because often times instructions are not parent friendly, so it was refreshing to find these quick and clear introductions at the beginning of each chapter. The best part was finding the fun activity pages at the end of a section. That's a great bonus! There is one with a world map and a sheet of stickers that will teach my kid geography while he's having fun. Also, another nice bonus is a little pocket at the end of the book with flash cards. Flash cards have answers on the other side. Once again, this is great because young kids get good at something by practicing it again and again. I am really impressed by this work book. It is designed to teach important and challenging concepts in appealing and kid friendly way. Whoever created this clearly put a lot of thought into it. I hope they have something for higher elementary grades as well.
My kids are 4years old and love working on homework
My kids are 4years old and love working on homework. This book level in the beginning catered to their abilities with shape identifications, patterns, and combinations. The illustrations looked great and supported the content clearly. The pages can also be easily wiped clean without water. I'm very impressed because some markers will leave residue on the page or water marks and looks very messy, this usually takes away from the kids attention. After wiping the page clean, you can start over again (no fighting over the page) or if you need extra room to discuss the problems. Towards the middle of the book it becomes more challenging, so its not so good for my kids now but this is something that they can work on and build.
5 Stars!!!
This book is perfect for my younger sister! She really enjoys how she can easily erase the marker and write in the book again and again. She's always on the move, but never without the book. I definitely recommended purchasing this product if your child finds it difficult to sit down and do problems in a standard workbook. I know for sure that my sister is practicing her critical thinking skills while having fun!
Best book to have for all occasions, not just for preparing for gifted and talented.
This book is excellent in all regards. The quality and the finishing itself is very good. The contents of the books is very appropriate for kids aged between 3-6. My son loves to solve the questions and he is very happy to rise upto the challenges. One of the best books out there that I bought both the edition for the gifted& talented. Of all my amazon purchases all these years, this product checks all my boxes. Workmanship, content, usefulness, worth every penny.
Great purchase for the price
The concepts seem appropriately challenging for our 3 year old. She picks up some easily and is challenged more by others, so that she looks forward to practicing each day. We love the wipe clean surface so she can practice over and over. The extra flash cards are a nice addition and I wish there was even more of them, as it keeps it interesting to switch between the book and cards. This was a great purchase for the price and seems more effective and easier to keep organized than a previous purchase of gifted flash cards we recently bought. I would highly recommend this book and I think it will be quite helpful when it's time for her to be tested.
Great logic and advanced testing workbook!
Way more pages than I expected! I love the wipe clean books, you are getting so much more for the cost. My kids did this in sections and enjoyed all the puzzles and problems throughout. This is a great logic workbook even if your kids are not doing test prep for advanced testing. It teaches young children how to look at things a different way and that will serve them as they learn. I have recommended this to many kindergarten parents. 5 stars for sure.
Practical and useful
I found the practical element of this workbook to be enormously helpful; the fact that you can erase what’s written and write in the book again and again is awesome. It helps lower the frustration when the kiddo makes a mistake or isn’t happy with what he had written. Erase and try again. The exercises themselves are age appropriate and well thought out

This book is perfect for my younger sister! She really enjoys how she can easily erase the marker and write in the book again and again. She's always on the move, but never without the book. I definitely recommended purchasing this product if your child finds it difficult to sit down and do problems in a standard workbook. I know for sure that my sister is practicing her critical thinking skills while having fun!
Best book to have for all occasions, not just for preparing for gifted and talented.
This book is excellent in all regards. The quality and the finishing itself is very good. The contents of the books is very appropriate for kids aged between 3-6. My son loves to solve the questions and he is very happy to rise upto the challenges. One of the best books out there that I bought both the edition for the gifted& talented. Of all my amazon purchases all these years, this product checks all my boxes. Workmanship, content, usefulness, worth every penny.
Great purchase for the price
The concepts seem appropriately challenging for our 3 year old. She picks up some easily and is challenged more by others, so that she looks forward to practicing each day. We love the wipe clean surface so she can practice over and over. The extra flash cards are a nice addition and I wish there was even more of them, as it keeps it interesting to switch between the book and cards. This was a great purchase for the price and seems more effective and easier to keep organized than a previous purchase of gifted flash cards we recently bought. I would highly recommend this book and I think it will be quite helpful when it's time for her to be tested.
Great logic and advanced testing workbook!
Way more pages than I expected! I love the wipe clean books, you are getting so much more for the cost. My kids did this in sections and enjoyed all the puzzles and problems throughout. This is a great logic workbook even if your kids are not doing test prep for advanced testing. It teaches young children how to look at things a different way and that will serve them as they learn. I have recommended this to many kindergarten parents. 5 stars for sure.
Practical and useful
I found the practical element of this workbook to be enormously helpful; the fact that you can erase what’s written and write in the book again and again is awesome. It helps lower the frustration when the kiddo makes a mistake or isn’t happy with what he had written. Erase and try again. The exercises themselves are age appropriate and well thought out
Challenging but fun
My 4.5 year old enjoyed the activities in the book and was challenged by new types of questions - such as analogies and making inferences. She really liked that she had her own marker and that she could easily wipe clean a wrong answer - it was surprising how encouraging that was for her (rather than having the wrong answer still showing even after erasing). There are activities through out the book that are "mind breaks" and that's nice, as well. Leaves an enjoyable impression.
Worth the money
I really enjoyed working on this activity book with my 3 year old. We call it activity time! After the first book I searched to see if the seller has other books and bought the other one they sell. Both are very good. I highly recommend them. I especially like the erase feature because I can work on the questions multiple times with my little one.
It's good
The other one had a hard cover, so it was "immortal" :)))) kids love it. This one won't resist as long since the over is soft. A bit less quests. But still good. I will buy another one when will appear new.
Fun and Engaging!
This book is very easy and fun way to prepare your kid for G&F. We received lots of old material(printouts) from relative whose children got into the program. But it was too stressful to teach my 4 year old using those materials. This book is very engaging. The pictures are bright and colorful. My kid seems to do much better with focusing. And since it is wipe-clean book, we can practice again and again.
Lost 1 page
I like the idea of reusable and erase, good for preschool kids. My daughter loves the activities included. My issue is there is one page missing, and page 13-14 is duplicates.
Full of activities
It’s a helpful book, it gets me an idea about the gift and talented exam, the only thing I don’t like much is that there were activities too dificult for a 3 year old kid, the age range 3-6 should be sorter in my opinion, other than that I think is a good book
Fun test preparation with dinosaurs
My son loves this book. It comes with stickers, flashcards and most importantly: dinosaurs. The book is beautifully designed and the questions are fun, well structured and cover different levels of difficulty. The best part is that it is re-usable as the writing with the special pen is easy to wipe off with a wet cloth. The best book I have seen so far.
Very pleased!
This book is excellent! It gives great challenge to a student who needs the challenge, but in very fun ways with vivid pictures! I am very please with this!
Instructive and Entertaining
This guide was not only useful, but simple for a child to understand and digest. The concepts were presented clearly and the re-usable, wipe clean format is particularly helpful for a young child to grasp and reinforce the lessons needed to succeed on test day. Unlike others, this is a study guide that is truly both educational and fun.
Fantastic!
My child loves this book, it presents logic 'puzzles' as prep for the gifted and talented admissions tests but really is invaluable as a way to keep children engaged (and off of screens!) in challenging them to think a bit. Love the wipe away feature as does my child. Highly recommended if you can hold of a copy-they are so sought after they sell out quite quickly!
It’s very hard to redo the problems with other regular books on the market but this wipe clean book is fantastic, we already did some problems multiple times
This Book is exactly what we were looking for! As we are preparing our daughter for the g&t exam we ended up buying multiple books and in many cases two of them. It’s very hard to redo the problems with other regular books on the market but this wipe clean book is fantastic, we already did some problems multiple times. The dry erase pen is great and it wipes off so easy. It’s already hard enough for kids to focus but book does a great job in spreading the material out. After only a few minutes my kids get tired but this book kept our daughter engaged and she could not wait to finish the section to do the fun activity. This book does have a great mix of problems from easy to difficult and was even useful for our 3 year old, she loved the dinosaur problems and stickers :) The book is sturdy and comes with flashcards too. We are looking forward for Smartie Books to release more books hopefully soon!
The BEST gifted and talented prep books EVER!
We are prepping for the NYC Gifted and Talented and these books are the BEST of all the books we have purchased. We got both the NNAT and OLSAT books. The OLSAT book has a total of 7 chapters: shape creation, analogies, directions & aural reasoning, classification, series completion, arithmetic reasoning and pattern matrices. First off, they have the dry-erase feature so the books are easy to reuse and you can wipe a wrong answer off in a second. The content of the book is fun and colorful with easy to understand instructions. More importantly, the questions are tough enough that I know my child is being challenged but he’s having fun at the same time. It doesn’t “feel” like test prep. The answer key is clear and easy to use by parents that don’t know the answers. It also has a set of flash cards for on-the-go learning. Wish they made different books for all subjects from PK-6! Don’t think twice. Get this book immediately!!!
Great workbook; easy to wipe clean and reuse
Great material. Engaging for my 4 year old and easy for him to use and wipe clean. Love the added “fun” sections. I wish the flash cards in the back where a little easier to be used independently (having the answers on a separate card) but overall a great product.
Good quality book
This workbook is a really high quality product. When I opened the package I was pleasantly surprised because the online pictures don't convey how well made this book is. It's a nice large format, the pages are thick and glossy so that they can be wiped clean and used again. This is very convenient because in my experience young children need that repetition to trully master the skill. I loved the fact that the book already comes with a dry erase marker attached to the book so you don't need to go looking for one and once you're done working, you just slide it back in and it's there for the next session. What I also liked is that the illustrations are very attractive, age appropriate, and full of vibrant colors so that a young child will associate the book with fun activity vs just boring pencil and paper work. Each section of the book begins with a very clear and to the point explanation about what skill is being mastered. Common Core standards caused a lot of confusion for parents and students because often times instructions are not parent friendly, so it was refreshing to find these quick and clear introductions at the beginning of each chapter. The best part was finding the fun activity pages at the end of a section. That's a great bonus! There is one with a world map and a sheet of stickers that will teach my kid geography while he's having fun. Also, another nice bonus is a little pocket at the end of the book with flash cards. Flash cards have answers on the other side. Once again, this is great because young kids get good at something by practicing it again and again. I am really impressed by this work book. It is designed to teach important and challenging concepts in appealing and kid friendly way. Whoever created this clearly put a lot of thought into it. I hope they have something for higher elementary grades as well.
My kids are 4years old and love working on homework
My kids are 4years old and love working on homework. This book level in the beginning catered to their abilities with shape identifications, patterns, and combinations. The illustrations looked great and supported the content clearly. The pages can also be easily wiped clean without water. I'm very impressed because some markers will leave residue on the page or water marks and looks very messy, this usually takes away from the kids attention. After wiping the page clean, you can start over again (no fighting over the page) or if you need extra room to discuss the problems. Towards the middle of the book it becomes more challenging, so its not so good for my kids now but this is something that they can work on and build.

Really good books.
Best customer service and book is great!
The book is really well made. My child had a great time with it. I also as a parent learned from it too. The customer service for mind inventions is also amazing and caring! My child is prepping for gifted and talented test in a week and I will post after the result of the test.
Worth it
My newly 3 year old loves this book. Came with stickers also!
Great book!
It's a great book. Let's me know what my daughter is good at and what she needs to work on. But, most importantly, she loves working in this book!
Love it!
I wish there stickers were reusable. Other than that the study book is great. My kids love learning from it and look forward to it. They are picking it up fast and getting smarter everyday.
Great product, great for pre-K, great customer service!
I bought this for my precocious almost 6 year old. A little simple for her, but would be fantastic for younger kids. I contacted the seller to tell them that I'd like a different product, and they immediately handled it positively - great customer service!
Highly recommend!
I can't complain about anything, either content, paper, printing, or design. It's so cool! My kid has been attracted to it since the delivery!
Beautiful and Creative
Beautiful and Creative!! This book is one of the most fun books for kids with tons of activities. We are not even doing G&T program and bought this book to help our kids learn the thought process. This Smartie Book has been amazing and the fact that they can redo the problems is awesome! Completely changed how our kids look at problems and interact on daily basis.
Great book. Helps expand their thinking
My 5 year old girl loves it. Doesn’t even think it’s a work book. I didn’t purchase this to help her take a test. I bought this, so she can expand her thinking.
Needed logic help
Seems to really be helping my son's logic skills! Plus there are dinos!

Great book
Great book for prepping. Some of the concepts are a bit advanced for my 3 year old but with that’s a good thing. Don’t want to be too easy since it’s for 3-6. Erasable is the way to go. My younger one can also use this when the time comes.
Great practice!
My kid loved this book, has been easy for her and the way the made it worked great. Definitely was made for little ones.
Amazing!
Really high quality review book. My almost 4 year old was excited to do this “test”. She’s actually grasping some of the concepts. I love that it’s erasable. It even has stickers for rewards. I can’t recommended it highly enough.
good quality paper , reusable
The first page ( cover page ) of the book was the last page, that too upside down .. and the cover page was attached at the end . It was confusing that when you open the book . Rest of the questions ( rest of the pages) were printed correct.
Good
It is fun.. but I expect more pages for that money.
Different for under 4years kids
Nice books important for kids
They love it and it’s wipe off
Grandchildren
Looks homemade
I had repeated pages, Some of my pages were cut wrong, but I did like the sticker fun that provides respite from mentally challenge. Makes everything seem like fun and games.
Perfect
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! My 3 year old got so excited when opened the book. excersises are brightly printed, easily wiped out. Fun activities on last page of each section of book.
Quality book.
Quality book. They should make one like this for writing letters.

Dry ease activity book....
Had no idea it was a dry ease white board background type of book and I love it! Separated into 7 sections covering all the topics they would be in the exam.
Great set of questions, reusable!
This is our favorite book out of about 10 we purchased. The complexity builds up. Since it’s intended to use with an erasable marker, the book is reusable, too.
Excellent

Very helpful! Highly recommend this book!
Thanks to this book, my son got into GT programme. Purchased this book 4 months before exam. With all helpful exercises we were ready in no time.
Great source to prepare for the test
My child loves this book. Great source to prepare for the test.
fun for my 4-year-old
my daughter loves these wipe clean workbooks
Very practical and extensive book
Very colorful and sturdy book. I love that you can wipe away and reuse the questions again so the child can do it over until they master the questions. The activities are also very engaging.

Really good quality. The binding hold up and you can rewipe the pages and no smudges or wipe off from the print. My three kids put through the ringer and it holds up well.

It's a nice large format, the pages are thick and glossy so that they can be wiped clean and used again. This is very convenient because in my experience young children need that repetition to trully master the skill. I loved the fact that the book already comes with a dry erase marker attached to the book so you don't need to go looking for one and once you're done working, you just slide it back in and it's there for the next session. What I also liked is that the illustrations are very attractive, age appropriate, and full of vibrant colors so that a young child will associate the book with fun activity vs just boring pencil and paper work. Each section of the book begins with a very clear and to the point explanation about what skill is being mastered. Common Core standards caused a lot of confusion for parents and students because often times instructions are not parent friendly, so it was refreshing to find these quick and clear introductions at the beginning of each chapter. The best part was finding the fun activity pages at the end of a section. That's a great bonus! There is one with a world map and a sheet of stickers that will teach my kid geography while he's having fun. Also, another nice bonus is a little pocket at the end of the book with flash cards. Flash cards have answers on the other side. Once again, this is great because young kids get good at something by practicing it again and again. I am really impressed by this work book. It is designed to teach important and challenging concepts in appealing and kid friendly way. Whoever created this clearly put a lot of thought into it. I hope they have something for higher elementary grades as well.
My kids are 4years old and love working on homework
My kids are 4years old and love working on homework. This book level in the beginning catered to their abilities with shape identifications, patterns, and combinations. The illustrations looked great and supported the content clearly. The pages can also be easily wiped clean without water. I'm very impressed because some markers will leave residue on the page or water marks and looks very messy, this usually takes away from the kids attention. After wiping the page clean, you can start over again (no fighting over the page) or if you need extra room to discuss the problems. Towards the middle of the book it becomes more challenging, so its not so good for my kids now but this is something that they can work on and build.
5 Stars!!!
This book is perfect for my younger sister! She really enjoys how she can easily erase the marker and write in the book again and again. She's always on the move, but never without the book. I definitely recommended purchasing this product if your child finds it difficult to sit down and do problems in a standard workbook. I know for sure that my sister is practicing her critical thinking skills while having fun!
Best book to have for all occasions, not just for preparing for gifted and talented.
This book is excellent in all regards. The quality and the finishing itself is very good. The contents of the books is very appropriate for kids aged between 3-6. My son loves to solve the questions and he is very happy to rise upto the challenges. One of the best books out there that I bought both the edition for the gifted& talented. Of all my amazon purchases all these years, this product checks all my boxes. Workmanship, content, usefulness, worth every penny.
Great purchase for the price
The concepts seem appropriately challenging for our 3 year old. She picks up some easily and is challenged more by others, so that she looks forward to practicing each day. We love the wipe clean surface so she can practice over and over. The extra flash cards are a nice addition and I wish there was even more of them, as it keeps it interesting to switch between the book and cards. This was a great purchase for the price and seems more effective and easier to keep organized than a previous purchase of gifted flash cards we recently bought. I would highly recommend this book and I think it will be quite helpful when it's time for her to be tested.
Great logic and advanced testing workbook!
Way more pages than I expected! I love the wipe clean books, you are getting so much more for the cost. My kids did this in sections and enjoyed all the puzzles and problems throughout. This is a great logic workbook even if your kids are not doing test prep for advanced testing. It teaches young children how to look at things a different way and that will serve them as they learn. I have recommended this to many kindergarten parents. 5 stars for sure.
Practical and useful
I found the practical element of this workbook to be enormously helpful; the fact that you can erase what’s written and write in the book again and again is awesome. It helps lower the frustration when the kiddo makes a mistake or isn’t happy with what he had written. Erase and try again. The exercises themselves are age appropriate and well thought out
Great book.
I bought this book for my daughter and her teacher did too. Great book.
It's good.
Very helpful!
Five Stars
A fun way to introduce toddler gifted and talented questions.
Excellent book - maximize your child's potential
This book is very well done, and is a must-have investment for the future of your child. Put in the time, have fun with it, and you will see the results.
My son’s favorite one!!
My son’s favorite book. It was very fun and entertaining, making the studying more smoothie. My son finished it in two days, and wanting more!!!
My 5 years old seems to like it.
Good product, good for my 5 years old.
Great book
Great book for kids looking to learn and excel
Not great for girls, gender unbalanced questions
All the questions in this book revolve around boys to the point that it’s comically ridiculous. The rare questions that show girl characters have them as the short, little siblings of the boys. Definitely do not recommend this for kids, especially girls, who are prepping for exams
It’s a great educational tool ‘
3 year old enjoys learning
Five Stars
Amazing book;quality,content,creative product.d pictures and d description is selling it short.this book is a masterpiece
It’s very hard to redo the problems with other regular books on the market but this wipe clean book is fantastic, we already did some problems multiple times
This Book is exactly what we were looking for! As we are preparing our daughter for the g&t exam we ended up buying multiple books and in many cases two of them. It’s very hard to redo the problems with other regular books on the market but this wipe clean book is fantastic, we already did some problems multiple times. The dry erase pen is great and it wipes off so easy. It’s already hard enough for kids to focus but book does a great job in spreading the material out. After only a few minutes my kids get tired but this book kept our daughter engaged and she could not wait to finish the section to do the fun activity. This book does have a great mix of problems from easy to difficult and was even useful for our 3 year old, she loved the dinosaur problems and stickers :) The book is sturdy and comes with flashcards too. We are looking forward for Smartie Books to release more books hopefully soon!
The BEST gifted and talented prep books EVER!
We are prepping for the NYC Gifted and Talented and these books are the BEST of all the books we have purchased. We got both the NNAT and OLSAT books. The OLSAT book has a total of 7 chapters: shape creation, analogies, directions & aural reasoning, classification, series completion, arithmetic reasoning and pattern matrices. First off, they have the dry-erase feature so the books are easy to reuse and you can wipe a wrong answer off in a second. The content of the book is fun and colorful with easy to understand instructions. More importantly, the questions are tough enough that I know my child is being challenged but he’s having fun at the same time. It doesn’t “feel” like test prep. The answer key is clear and easy to use by parents that don’t know the answers. It also has a set of flash cards for on-the-go learning. Wish they made different books for all subjects from PK-6! Don’t think twice. Get this book immediately!!!
Great workbook; easy to wipe clean and reuse
Great material. Engaging for my 4 year old and easy for him to use and wipe clean. Love the added “fun” sections. I wish the flash cards in the back where a little easier to be used independently (having the answers on a separate card) but overall a great product.

Good content, good quality. My boys like it...
The second time around
I liked the ability to use the questions over again
great product educational and fun!
my kid loved it!
One of the best activity books of the dozens we have
Our 4.5-year-old has literally dozens of activity books, but this one truly stands out above the others. The dry-erase pages are excellent, and each of the different types of activities is challenging and makes him think in new ways. I bought this with a discount code through a savings group but would buy again at full price with no hesitation. Really great learning product.
Great book for kids to learn while having fun!
I work with kids all the time and I can say this book is one of the best activity books I have seen. The fact that it is wipe clean is a genius idea. Kids write and draw all over and regular books become useless. This books allows kids to redo the problems until they get it right. While it is little bit more expensive than other books, the value it adds makes this book actually very cheap! The colors of this book are beautiful and the smartie characters keep kids entertained. Smartie Books is a must for every kid, as it challenges them and teaches them the thought process and logic. If however your child is preparing for Gifted and Talented test this book will certainly help your child understand the concepts and perfect their understanding.
Educational while Engaging!
I received this book as a gift from a friend who knew I was struggling with OLSET prep. So far this books appears to be a great educational tool, the approach is engaging and entertaining for my son and the wipe clean option is great. This is definitely a great tool to use if you have a tough time getting your young one too focus and sit still. There are many questions and activities that make exam prep feel like a game and garner a great response from my son. The ultimate test will be the exam itself, however as of right now I am very satisfied with the progress he is making.
Really great book
Got this for my nephew. There are a lot of materials out there for guilted and talented test prep but they do not compare to this book. Very easy to understand and use, fun for the kid and reusable ( erasable). This book can also be used as a fun learning book for kids, not necessarily just for test prep.
Engaging and fun
My daughter is 5 and thought this book was very fun. We breezed through it and we were able to exercise foundational critical thinking skills in an engaging way.
The best G&T book! So lucky we found this
Beautiful and creative! Smartie Books is really a fun book for kids. It really is a joy to do these questions and the fun activities. Very creative! There are so many different things to work on and every page is filled with amazing content! I love how you can reuse the book by just wiping off the marker. Worth the money!

I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My 3-year-old girl really likes this book. She will do a couple of pages a day. Some are a little too dificult for her but practice makes perfect. She will soon master this book.
Like it redo function
love this book, especially its erasable function. No more mess, no more worries. I even can let my 2yrs son play with is. Also this book come with some fun flash cards my 5yrs son is really enjoying it. He likes to do those exercises. Only one little problem for myself that is I kind of confused to find out the answers about those questions. Anyway this book is great!
Great book
Love this book and good quality
Well worth it
Excellent book for the price...love that we can wipe off and redo again and again. Bought all their books so far..including the math and verbal flashcards. These books keep my 5yo thoroughly engaged and I love that my 3yo can also use them afterwards. They are of excellent quality...5 stars!
