Too simple for this age suggestionI want to start out by saying that I have purchased, and my kids have completed, or are working on, almost every single Kumon workbook ever made! We love Kumon. Maybe that is why it was too simple for them. I purchased this book for both my 5 year old (nearly 6) and my 7 year old. They love Kumon workbooks and were very excited when they started this one. They sat down at the same time and plowed through most of the book in 45 minutes (55 pages for my 7 year old and 51 pages for my 5 year old). They would have probably finished the book if we didn’t have to go out at that time. They loved doing the pages and didn’t want to stop! The only reason I’m giving it 3 stars instead of 5 stars is that I think it is too simple of a workbook for the suggested age range. This book includes coloring and circling the heaviest or lightest object, putting a checkmark under the heaviest and a circle under the lightest set of blocks, coloring in equal weights of blocks on a scale with 2 sides, tracing and writing numbers to 200, and reading the weight (in pounds and grams) on a scale and writing or tracing the answers below. The scale pages have 1/3 of the pages with the answers for EVERY SINGLE problem under the scale, and all your kid has to do is trace the number. This drives me nuts with these books, but I white out most of the answers so that they have more to do. There are 76 worksheet pages in this book (down from the normal 80). I would still purchase this book, even knowing how simple it has been, because my kids have really had fun doing it.
