C D B! by William Steig
3.0
Wow, this was 1968 before the texting craze came to be and we actually use stuff like this. This started to give me a headache as there are some difficult puzzles in this book.
Steig is using Letters and numbers to make simple sentences and most of them I could figure out and some I could not. The pictures do help. C D B is see the bee. That’s how the book works. I got to the end and saw there was a translation and I figured out the ones I didn’t get. I think I figured out about 70% of them. I missed L-X-& R which is Alexander. Some things make more sense to me than others. Still, it’s a puzzle book and I enjoy puzzles. The artwork is the style of William Steig.
The kids thought this was fun. They too were trying to guess what it was saying. The niece was pretty good and the nephew did good too. He knows his letters. Still, some of them are not as obvious as others. The niece thought this was fun and she gave it 4 stars. The nephew was at least not bored by this and he gave it 3 stars.
