"Puzzle designer David Kalvitis, skillfully utilizes dots and a variety of guides to create complex and artistic dot-to-dot puzzles in The Greatest Dot-to-Dot Super Challenge Set. This newest addition to the popular series of connect-the-dot books challenges puzzlers with even more elaborately plotted maps, resulting in surprisingly beautiful scenes. In 2000, Kalvitis revolutionized traditional connect-the-dots intended for children and created the first dot-to-dots specifically designed for older audiences. With the creation of his extraordinary puzzles, Kalvitis’ first series of books left puzzlers clamoring for more. As a result Kalvitis answered their requests with multiple Greatest Dot-to-Dot Super Challenge series books. The Greatest Dot-to-Dot Super Challenge Set provides puzzlers with another first: a hunt for a numerical sequence hidden among decoy numbers. This inventive idea along with the groundbreaking use of guides such as symbols, letters, words, coordinates, arrows, and compass directions creates complex challenges for all ages."

"Monkeying Around has published this wonderful new series based on the old connect-the-dot books, a great classic fun activity. The concept has been around for a long time, but these books take a fresh new approach to the wonderful world of dot-to-dots. Each of the four books offer increasingly challenging puzzles and intricate drawings as you progress through, as well as a variety of different images including animals, vehicles, buildings, and sports. Some puzzles present new variations and include special instructions on the page.

Monkeying Around was created by a graphic designer from Rochester, NY who is a lifelong fan of games and puzzles. His goal was to design puzzles that were interesting and challenging for older children and adults to enjoy. The books are a relaxing alternative to television but also help children focus as they discover each image. Dot-to-dots have been popular for a long time, and now the "Greatest Dot-to-Dot Books" can be enjoyed by people of all ages!"
