Once again, I succeed in finding more merchandise on discount.
The two (perhaps more) books to be discussed here share the same name, same ISBN, and some of the same images, but otherwise are inherently different. You see, what Bendon (yes; them again) did was they produced two books at the same time that had the same basic format, and so they apparently decided to just have them share a name and release them together as part of the same batch. How do you tell them apart? Look at the covers; one has Bumblebee on the front and a cut-out door hanger on the back, while the other has The Fallen on the cover and a door *sign* on the back.
Each book comes in at just under 100 pages and sports a variety of activities, such as coloring pages, mazes, “spot the difference” exercises, and others. Artwork is recycled constantly through the books, but only a few actual puzzles were reused between them (thus making the shared title and ISBN number somewhat ironic). Even for an adult fan, doing everything would likely take a while.
At the time of this writing, these books were cluttering the coloring book / kids’ book section of the local Dollar Tree; perhaps other discount stores near you will still have them in stock. Should that be the case, they’d make a great stocking-stuffer for little ones just getting into the franchise; all you’d need is a new box of crayons and your kids could have fun all afternoon. Or heck – you could indulge and do a few of these yourself. Live a little; you’re already buying toys anyway. Rating: 10 / 10.
