I love this set of books for the fact that it is so easy for the child to learn using the simple step-by-step instructions in these books. What impressed me the most was that my son actually looked forward to using this book. That doesn't happen very often with anything related to school. I thought it was nice that in the beginning of the book they teach them some pre-writing skills to get them adjusted to writing in cursive without it feeling too intimidating. Great series, perfect for the child who is just learning the art.
