This is not a book but a collection of 20 pairs of matching cards. The cards are about 2 inches b 2 inches and are brightly colored with images created with that trademark stylized minimalist geometric art that wee society does. So it's basically a matching game.
On the surface, the set seems a bit arty. I'm not sure that young kids would recognize some of the pictures being depicted, even though they could match them. Older kids would recognize the trapdoor card, the skull with the eyepatch, and the lava flow mountain. And i guess those things are pretty awesome in their own right. But for me, i was expecting more. Kids who are young will be able to see the patterns, older kids will understand what all the patterns mean.
I guess if you're looking for a matching set, this is good and less complicated than a deck of cards.
The pictures are cute and the cards are on heavy-duty glossy stock. There are words that go along with the pictures so kids who are learning to read will like it. It's not that expensive at only $10 on amazon, so if you're looking for a good present for kids this would be a good set. You can't find many educational kid toys for ten dollars nowadays. I'd recommend it for holiday stocking stuffers or gifts.
This was given to me free in exchange for a fair and honest review.
