    Good
    Review by Gin
    Looks like a fun book to me, with all the animals. My child has never complained about working on this book. With my child, that speaks volumes.
    GREAT!!!
    Review by TisforTeacherMama
    My child has poor fine motor skills. I have been aware of this with my background in early childhood education. We started using this right before the age of 6. My child is loving it and it's not just copy work but every day activities build strength in the hand which will help develop more control and handwriting will improve. Be sure to do the Pre-test and then post-test when done so you can actually see the scale of improvement.
    I wasn't impressed!
    Review by Jeeeka08
    Handwriting curriculum is everywhere! You can find it at the Dollar Stores and everywhere else for cheap. I felt this book was bulky and didn't fit our family, as well as other books! I wish there was a more condensed version!
    a favorite
    Review by Ashley
    We LOVE this one. We are currently almost done (started as soon as it was available for download) and this has helped my learning to write learner so much. We did after Simply K and while doing Foundational Phonics. Highly recommend for learners who need more practice. Has really helped my learner with her writing when she was previously struggling. A great addition to either K or Level 1 materials.
    We love this handwriting book!
    Review by KD
    This handwriting course is so unique and interesting for my 6 yr old. She loves the activity pages and gorgeous animal pictures. It’s always something she pulls out first since it’s her favorite schoolbook. This is truly unique and a handwriting book like none other. It’s so much more than handwriting practice, there’s play doh activities, coloring, drawing, tracing, and scripture as well. We LOVE it, thank you Master Books!!
    He’s loving this!
    Review by Sheena
    This is probably my first grader’s favorite part of school this year. He loves all of the information about animals and the handwriting is just challenging enough without being overwhelming. I love the references to scripture that point our children to the Creator. We’re only 7 weeks into the curriculum and I’m already seeing solid improvement in my son’s handwriting. Another huge win from Master Books for us!
    Having fun
    Review by Elizabeth
    My first grader is thoroughly enjoying Handwriting: A to Zoo! She loves the animal facts and is staying engaged with each lesson. This has been the perfect addition to her school year and I can't wait to use it again with my youngest!
    So Cute
    Review by Lexie
    This has to be one of the cutest handwriting books I've come across in my 12 years as a homeschooling mom. The illustrations and topics are just perfect for little ones just learning to write. The color illustrations of the animals are wonderful at keeping the attention of the student. But this book goes beyond just learning to write, your child will learn about different animals, ways God made them unique, how they move, eat, and live. Also there are non textbook activities to help your child master using their hands well, such as play-doh crafts, tearing and gluing activities, paper plate games, and more.
    Great Handwriting Curriculum!!!
    Review by SarahT
    My son, who struggles with handwriting loves this book!! The beginning of the book helps the student build stamina for the writing process along with learning about different animals along the way. This book holds a child's attention and helps them to master handwriting skills. I would highly recommend!!
    Such a fun book
    Review by Kathleen C
    Your kids are going to love this book. It is so much fun to do they won’t feel like it is schoolwork. The images alone in this book are amazing. They are so beautiful and vibrant, I found myself looking through every page just to see all the amazing animals.
    They will learn to print lower and upper case letters A to Z while learning about amazing and unique animals in God’s creation and design. There are 31 lessons on animals and five Super Skills Lessons which has them tracing and copying Bible Verses. This book is packed with helpful tools to teach your child handwriting. Included are: Pre and Post Assesments, Supply Lists, Daily Schedule, Rubrics to assign grades, Review Pages, Answer Key, Activity Tear Out Pages and a Certificate of Completion.
    I especially love the scripture verse in every lesson. It helps to teach your child all about God’s creation.
    It is a fantastic book for teaching a child how to print.
