Book Reviews of Cootie Catcher Book (Klutz)

Book Review: Great fun, great gift idea: original, inventive and different.
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is really half-way between a book and a craft kit. It's American, hence the title - here in the UK I think Fortune Teller is the commonly used terminology for those things you made in the classroom from any square of paper, folded several times, you coloured on the outer squares, wrote numbers on the middle layer and then put forfeits or wildly inaccurate predictions inside.
I generally think Klutz books are good quality but rather expensive - however, this one is a particularly brilliant idea and it is beautifully put together. It's a spiral-bound book with around 20 colourful and varied preprinted fortune tellers that tear out easily and should you not know how to fold them, there are clear instructions on how to fold as required and then hold. The preprinted pages come in a good range of illustration styles and so feel very varied. They also come in several formats 1) entirely completed including jungle, pizza, flowers and underwater themes, 2) attractively presented to which you add your own forfeits/fortunes and 3) ready to use for games, either Truth or Dare or `MASH', both of which have full instructions. There are also dozens of suggestions for fortunes/forfeits in case you can't think of your own.
This is a fantastic present for 5-8 year olds. Original, inventive and different. If my daughter is anything to go by, it's guaranteed to be a hit.
