Cy: Nice little mad libs book. Great printing and instructions. The only thing is the paper is a little cheap newsprint and likely will bleed with markers or gel pens.

AnnE: Super cute book for encouraging fun story building skills which is exactly why I purchased it. My kids enjoy making the silly stories and are also learning new vocabulary words and parts of speech. If I had one complaint it would be the paper quality. When you erase the paper peels a bit and thus if too much erasing is done the page will rip.

Obi Wan: ░░░░░GOOD FOR KIDS WHO CAN'T READ YET░░░░░
(Not to be confused with kids who attend the Derek Zoolander School For Kids Who Can't Read Good)

❖ I won't explain what Mad Libs are in general, assuming that you haven't lived under a rock for the last half a century. But these Mad Libs are great for little kids that don't know how to read yet. Instead of having the type of word needed under the blank lines like (noun), (adverb), (verb) etc...it does the whole thing with symbols. So it will have a star where it needs nouns, an arrow where is needs verbs, etc. Then there is a list above the MadLib of nouns under a star icon and verbs under an arrow icon so the kid can just randomly pick words without even reading them. (Obviously they will need someone who can read to read the MadLib back)

❖ Even if the kid can't read the words, they are working with the words. And that's healthy development of reading skills. You can even have them copy the words from the provided lists into the blank spots. Again, even if they don't know what the words are, they can copy the letters. This helps with writing skills. And since they are categorized, the MadLib will...

Kilo Bravo: Limited in scope compared to regular Mad Libs, but good for 4-6 year-olds because instead of a blank reading "verb," there's a symbol of an arrow. It focuses on 4 categories: Noun, Adjective, Verb, and Body Part.

My tips for turning this into as much of a learning experience as possible:
- With 2 young children, we take turns, round robin style, for each blank. I participate also. A different person starts each night.
- Each word type has to be defined before an example is stated and written (i.e., "You have 'verb,' what's a verb"? "An action word" "Good, now what's your example of an action word?")
- Let the kids have fun with this and get silly. They think potty humor is hilarious, but we ask them not to say those words most of the time ("bottom, butt, toots, farts" etc.) But I let them do it during Mad Libs because let's be honest; they're not that funny without blue humor, and the kids laugh so much about the poop jokes that they don't even realize they're learning.
- Make Mad Libs a reward. We only do Mad Libs last, after we've successfully read a short story or three without much shenanigans or incident and with a reasonable amount of attention. Then we do...
