Anti-Stress Dot-to-Dot: Beautiful, Calming Pictures to Complete Yourself Paperback – 19 Nov. 2015

I bought this book to do as I was recovering from spine surgery.The attention to detail is fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed doing every puzzle.My only negative comment is that this is the only one she has done - I want more 😜

I bought this book in desperation for help with bad panic attacks I was having at home. I initially didn't like using the book as I felt I was admiring to myself I was stressed and anxious before having to use it. Once I did begin to use the book I instantly fell in love. I tend to use the book in my spare time when not in an anxious state because I enjoy it so much but also find it very helpful when panicky as you are so focused on the numbers and what the picture will be, it distracts your mind. I also love that no matter how you draw the lines you still get an amazing picture. Highly recommend this to anyone whether they need to de-stress or not.

These books for some reason are extremely popular among elderly people in particular. Don't think these are for kids - these are adult versions. Complex drawings to focus the eye and mind. Literally, hours can be spent completing the puzzles. Excellent value.

Good for older children

This is a very nice book, and if you have good eyesight even better. I have managed the first page with my reading/hobby glasses on, and towards the end used a magnifying glass admittedly. Mainly because my eyes were sore after a day of various hobbies and close work. Normally I do not think it would be a problem, but would suggest for anyone who has limited vision even with glasses, that this may be a harder for them to get through. However, you can do so much at a time, and mark the place you finish ready to continue. Overall, definitely worthwhile, and well put together.

I have just done a couple of the pictures so far, but have not particularly enjoyed them. I can find the numbers without too much problem, but the final pictures just look too messy to be satisfying. You constantly seem to be doubling back over lines you have already drawn, often without much need to. It seems as if the artist drew a picture and then put the dots on without much thought as to the order of them, so the lines go all over the place.The picture on the front of the book is somewhat deceiving, whoever added the lines seemed to pretty much disregard the dots and just drew the picture so that one looks good, but if you actually join the dots up then the pictures don't really work as well.

I love this! Within 10 minutes of opening it I was hooked! The numbers are small but not so much that you have to squint (I have poor eyesight too - corrected with glasses admittently - but I was impressed!) The puzzles take roughly 20 minutes each and there’s plenty of them to do. I’m planning on taking this on the Euro Tunnel in the summer as I get claustrophobic and it will take my mind off it! The pictures are stunning. It’s very cleverly done and I highly recommend it.

Bought to entertain kids on long journey. Great that often can’t tell what the picture is before you start. Challenging enough for 10-13 year olds. Takes easily an hour or more to do each picture.
