Dot to Dot by Monkeying Around!

Hello Neighbors!

This is one of my favorite things to take on trips for keeping the children busy!  Dot to Dot books from Monkeying Around are not your average dot to dots.  These are amazing!  The new book we received The Greatest Dot to Dot Adventure Book 1($8.95) has dot to dots that are two and even three pages wide.

My daughters LOVE to do these while we are driving, sitting at a restaurant, spending time together in the evening at a hotel, or whenever they have some free time.  These Dot to Dot books by Monkeying Around have anywhere from 160 dots to over 1,000.  Some of these are very detailed.  I am sure you will be astounded!

Each page has directions for you to follow, so you will know when to stop and start in a new spot.  Some are numbers, a few are alphabet.  A couple have numbers but no dots.  They are really alot of fun!

About David Kalvitis:
"I have looked on Ebay and collected dot-to-dot books dating back to the 1920's. I know they went back much earlier than that. In my books I even made humorous references to the history of dot-to-dots, because I personally couldn't find the origins. There was a book that inspired me but I don't know the title, author or date (probably late 60's or early 70's). I remember the puzzles having lots of numbers and the images being fairly detailed. At that age lots of numbers may have been 50 for me, but it seemed like so many. As an adult I would occasionally create a dot-to-dot puzzle just for fun. I came to realize that all the dot-to-dot books available were for young kids just learning numbers, with drawings that gave away the final pictures. I decided I wanted to design a really intricate dot-to-dot puzzle book for the big kids, with lines wandering all over the place and numbers climbing well into the hundreds. While working on and off for seven years on this goal, I came up with new dot-to-dot puzzle variations involving multiple lines, connecting coordinates and even connecting symbols."
