The differences are easy to spot, and they manage to keep toddlers concentrated (but not much longer than three consecutive pictures, I guess). Still, parents have to give some pointers from time to time.

I purchased four of the Little Dover Spot the Difference books for my nephew who is 5 years old. He loves them. The pictures are large and are printed in black and white. The book can double as a coloring book too. The format of the book is small enough that you can but it in your purse or bookbag. You can't beat the price for only $1.50 per book.

I had purchased this for my daughter to take on a trip to keep her busy at the airport and on the plane. When I received this book, I was disappointed with the size -- it is extremely small. In other words, this is a "pocket book", and was extremely difficult for my daughter to handle. You would think that a smaller book would be easier for a child to handle, but we actually needed a book that could be opened and placed on a table or tray so she could work on it herself. It was hard for her to keep the book opened and complete the exercises.
The exercises themselves are quite simple, and I would place the age range on this at "3 to 4". Regardless of age, however, don't expect this book to last long as it is not very long, and the entire book can probably be completed in two or three sittings by most children, depending on age.
My daughter lost interest in this fairly quickly, so I don't feel it was a wise purchase.

I'd buy it, again. I think I will.
By the way, I did not pay a sourcing fee. I paid a buck-and-a-half and got free shipping with Amazon Prime. Now, I see this is on the 4-for-3 promotion, so I may pick out a few more like this and get another stash for the kids.
About the book...Yes, it's tiny. It's less than 6 inches high. (Get out your ruler.) Each 2-page spread is a double, with differences. You know what I mean. (It's a "spot the difference" book!)
I bought this little book about a year ago, when my boys were 5. They sat and spotted all or most of the differences in a sitting or two. Since then, this book has been with the coloring books. Every now & then, someone colors a page. They like it a lot.
This would be a nice one to put in your purse along with a small box of crayons. It's nice to have something small like this handy for when time needs to be passed in a waiting room or at a restaurant.
I do definitely recommend this. The pictures are very appealing to the kids and they loved it.

Nice busy work book for a young child..But with a "Sourcing" fee it is terribly over priced. What is a sourcing fee anyway?? Look for similar in the Dollar store instead.
