My daughter asks for "the ones with the pictures." That's the whole review. She finishes them without being asked twice.

We switched over after trying three other sites. The instructions are short enough that my son can start without me sitting next to him.

Big pictures and wide lines, which matters more at this age than people think. My littles can actually finish a page.
