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

I would recommend this notebook for thoughts or notes you want to keep together it is well bound and would not be ideal for tearing out pages.

Very good for kindergarten Journals
Better quality and a good price. Kids love to draw pictures and write something about the picture they drew. Good idea for K-2 journals.

Great journal for young children!
This is a wonderful journal for beginning writers. It has blue and red lines to help form letters correctly and a space at the top for illustrations.

Perfect spacing for younger elementary kids
Perfect notebook for kids in grades K-2. Children need the extra spacing apart as they learn how to write in between lines.

Pre-K-2nd grade composition book
I love these for my preschool! The students draw pictures and then dictate their thoughts for teachers to write. As they gain understanding of their letters they begin to form their own words and sentences. We use them everyday.
