We bought this for our daughter who's nearly 7 to try out and see how she got on with XTB, as we recently finished working our way through the Table Talk books. It's a useful way to introduce children to John's signs pointing to who Jesus is. She loved being able to find things out for herself with the puzzles etc and we all enjoyed doing the corresponding Table Talk bits together at breakfast, along with our three-year-old. We'll definitely be getting more XTB books now (and probably using them with the Table Talk books as it worked so well with this one).

The bits with the magnifying glass were fun too although, with it being a summer book, it came along with us on holiday and the magnifying glass got lost as it can't be attached to the book in any way!

We used this with our 9 year old and felt it was pitched well for that age - right amount of stuff for each day, nice puzzles etc to make it interesting and attention-holding. Would have liked to see more use of the (surprisingly good!) magnifying glass. Didn't quite get round to the table talk bits.

We'd use it again and would give it a go with our rising 7 year old too.
