Anyone who is looking for Blues Clues Note Book knows how hard it is to come by and how expensive can it be. This notebook will last a good long time. Not only that, I have found that it is very easy to get some colored construction paper, a hole punch and a better pen on a leash and "reload" these notebooks til your kids are out of college. That right there is the true value of these particular notebooks and the reason that why they're should given 5 stars.
 So, out of the box, they're not bad and worth the retail price, but what makes these things really shine and makes them worth the "collectible" price is the fact that they will last you a good long time and can be modified and "reloaded" time and time again with a little work. This is a great product for any toddler/child that loves Blues Clues.
