My notebooks came damage. The notebooks are bended and ripped. And they're very expensive.

Perfect
My daughter is in kindergarten and these books were recommended. She's writing ten times better already because the books are preset with the dotted lines for her already! If you want your child to write on the line correctly and at perfect size I highly recommend these books. Besides that their a really great price.

Primary Composition Notebook
This notebook was hard to find the website was telling me the store had them in stock and every time I went they were out and the pages are very thin this notebook should always have thick pages since it's for Kindergarteners.

Good notebook.
Great notebook for primary grades. Better than having loose pieces of paper or putting papers in a folder.

Great product but had a difficult time
The product is great but during shipping many of my books got bent and the cover on some showed some smudged from other books (being rubbed together). I got 1 out of my 3 receipts and received 2 that were not for me. I'm thinking that since it was busy (back to school) it was hectic in their warehouse. I had to go online and try to find the appropriate receipts so I c...

Primary Composition
K-2 grade addition has story book paper (picture space at the top of paper). These are great for writing journals. They are perfect for drawing pictures and learning to write on the lines.

My special needs granddaughter needs the primary composition book because it has wider lines with the dotted line in between - thank goodness Staples carries these! On the west side of Cincinnati you cannot find them anywhere else! Thanks Staples for making her school supply list so much easier to work with!
