Summer Brain Quest is Here!

by Rachel on April 18, 2017, no comments

Summer Brain Quest: Between Grades 1 & 2 is here! Last summer I drew ~300 interior spot illustrations of dragons, fairies, castles, and wildlife for Workman Publishing’s newest Brain Quest educational collection: it’s a workbook, a game, and an outdoor adventure!

As you complete activities, you earn stickers to track your progress on the included map. The book is jam-packed with curriculum-based exercises, bonus challenges, outside activities, over 150 stickers, a summer reading list, and a Brain Quest mini deck.

If you have a child between grades 1 & 2 (or just have passionate nostalgia for after-school workbooks, like me!) you should definitely check this book out.
