In Book 1, the focus is visual. Students are asked to examine a series of 4–9 pictures, determine the relationship between them, choose an item that could be the next logical item in the sequence, and draw their answer. The sequences range from rote skills (e.g., alphabetical order) to ab patterns to more complex abc and aab patterns. The back of each puzzle page is blank so students with less-refined fine motor skills have enough space for their work. Simple, engaging line art invites students to color the images in the puzzles. Perforated pages facilitate sending work home for parents to see.
