I got some at kidsurplus.com and some at amazon. I don't know where you live. They have them at Christmas Tree Shoppes in New England.

I know they have them at Target for 6.99 b/c I was looking at them like 1/2 an hour ago.

I'm pretty sure there was a similar thread a while back in the Lounge, and I think it had some good printable sites- try searching, and I'll bet it will come up.

I saw several 3 packs at Costco last weekend. I can't remember how much they were, but I would check there for a bargain.

I think it's 12.99 for 3 books at Costco. They have the best prices I've seen but the downfall is that you have to take what's in the packs...meaning you can't mix and match books which would be nice.

I'm also wondering how much they were at the Christmas Tree Shoppe. I go there regularly but I don't think I've seen them there before.

I am sorry I didn't check the price at Christmas Tree Shoppes. But I can tell you where they were. At our store in Shrewsbury, MA there is a book shelf over near the toys. It has all kinds of workbooks and books in it. There were some Kumon, and some others that looked very similar. If it helps, I bought one that looked like a knock off on the Kumon, same colors, concepts. Called Step Ahead Workbook by Golden Books. "Before I Write" for Preschool. This was $1.99.

Good luck!

I stopped on my way home from work and I could not find any Kumon books. I did see that other type reference in a previous post.

I found 2 packs of Kumon workbooks at BJs in Mass for $9.99. There were only about 6 packs. The two pack seemed like consecutive books - i.e. telling time for 4/5/6 year olds and then another time book for 5/6/7 year olds.

thanks for the responses. i checked costco last week but they didn't have any. i'll probably just order some from amazon.

I just picked up a 3-pack of Kumon books from Costco for 12.99. The one I bought had Lower case letters, easy telling time and numbers 1-70. I almost picked up the Uppercase, Cutting, and Numbers 1-30 pack but DS' preschool focuses on lower case and I don't want to interfere with what he's learning at school.

I got a 3 pack at Costco last week for $12.99 as well. Mine had Number games, Pasting and one other. I'll be going back for more, since ds is really enjoying them a lot.
