Review Quotes

"Word for Word: Hidden Holidays is a great 'random holiday' word search book for kids. This book features word searches for well known holidays like Valentine's Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Saint Paddy's Day, but also includes less known holidays such as the Kalymnos Climbing Festival, The World Fireknife Championship, Sauti Za Busara, The Grerewol Festival, and The Night of the Radishes."--K. Chan

"I loved that the puzzles were arranged by region of the world. I loved that so many different cultures and religions are represented without unnecessary, judgey comments. I loved that even I, an adult, learned things as I read through this book. Plus, I found many of the puzzles challenging and fun, too."--TammyJo E.

"My son and I have been enjoying the hidden word games. We race one another, which adds to the fun. The book is large, well-fonted, and on pretty good paper."--Steve T.
