Recs for preschool workbooks?

We have the BrainQuest workbooks. Got them from Amazon, but the day after I ordered I saw that they had these, as well as another option, at Costco for a little less. Unfortunately my kid is at a phase where he does not want to be told what to do, so the simplest thing as showing him how to trace the letters results in a defiant stance. Fun. :)

Ditto on the BrainQuest books. I bought one for Jake at the grocery store. He calls it his "homework". No clue where he even learned that word!

Thanks for the rec! That's so cute, I still remember being in first grade and having my teenage babysitter laugh at me because I wanted to do "homework." :-)

Yeah well we'll see how far we get. We tried to play a basic board game with Katie last night and she did not want to hear the rules. If you are the PURPLE player then you go to the PURPLE square, and you don't spin the arrow, instead you move it so that it points to PURPLE, see, then go to the PURPLE square.

Basically any new thing we get her, if I say something like "Let me show you how to do this" she grabs it and says, "No, let me show YOU how to do it." So maybe these preschool books will end up the same way. But someday she might like one, maybe?? :-)

Thanks for the rec.

Glad to know this is not just happening to me. We tried Candyland at Christmas and as long as you followed HIS rules everything was okay. ;)

Same here with Chutes and Ladders. The Curious George game I posted recently has really been the best game.
