The "Off We Go" series is written for ages 3-7. Although it is applicable to all children, it is especially helpful for those who have learning disabilities and who benefit from step-by-step instructions. There are 12 steps in each book with colorful illustrations demonstrating each step. Each book takes the child through an event that might take place in his/her day.

These books can be used as storybooks or can be integrated into the child's daily activities. They serve as an educational tool for a future event and can accompany those events to demonstrate the details involved in that particular activity.

Following is a brief synopsis of each book. I have not included all 12 steps in the descriptions.

I would like to reiterate that even though this set is geared for children with learning disabilities, all children will enjoy them.
